We’re having a great time this week featuring Double Rainbow recipes! What better way to create some rainbow magic than with something sweet … Double Rainbow Cupcakes!
These delicious cupcakes not only have fun chocolate rainbow garnishes on top, your friends and family will be surprised to find a rainbow of colors inside, too! My kids loved these cupcakes so much that we made 72 of them to take to school and share. They were a huge hit and definitely something we’ll be making often.
My favorite part is that the kids get to help mix, mash and drizzle the colored batter. There’s something for everyone to do and a great way to make some fun kitchen memories. First, gather up your ingredients, prepare the cake mix according to package directions and divide into 6 quart-sized freezer bags.
Add food coloring to each bag (one for each color of the rainbow), seal tightly and let your little helpers mix and mash until combined.
After all your colors are mixed, you’re ready to pipe out your cupcake batter!
Cut a small piece of the corner of each bag and squeeze about 2 tsp into each cupcake wrapper. Don’t worry about covering the entire surface with each color, just make sure they get added in “rainbow order”.
Let set completely, about 15 minutes. Don’t worry if they look messy on the back, when you peel them off, the smooth side will be gorgeous!
