Rainbow Cupcakes



So I have a birthday party I am going to tomorrow and there are going to be kids so I stayed away from my current "mixed drink cupcake" phase.

ingredients
2 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup milk
neon food coloring (purple, pink, green, blue)

directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F Grease muffin cups or use liners
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder, add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Finally stir in the milk until batter is smooth.
3. Pour or spoon batter into 4 small bowls. Add one color to each bowl and stir in. Add a dolp of each color to the prepared muffin cups. DO NOT STIR
4. baked 20-25 minutes

Obviously you don't have to use neon colors or 4 they would be sweet for a school function using the school's colors or sports too...okay anything the involves colors. And I made these with Raspberry extract once they were yummy yummy yummy.

The frosting I used the Wilton's its like the Betty Crocker but stands up wayyyy better to piping. Especially if you have hot hands like mine.
