Wouldn’t it be fun to serve these Rainbow Cupcakes for a fun St Patrick’s Day dessert? We made this fun St Patrick’s Day treat from a boxed cake mix to celebrate a day when we all wish to be Irish.
I have always had so much fun with St. Patricks Day, from giving my son green milk to sticking clovers in my girl’s hair. I never wish to pass a chance to have some fun even if all the kids are grown.
It doesn’t take long to make these fun cupcakes, we used a white cake mix and divided the batter between 5 different bowls. Each bowl of batter was colored a different color of the rainbow using regular food coloring. A spoon full of colored batter in each pint mason jar and baked in a water bath.
But these Rainbow Cupcakes really take the cake. (pun intended) These Rainbow Cupcakes were a fun little challenge and so delicious. We are loving all the bright bold colors at the end of this Rainbow Challenge. These are better than finding gold at the end of the rainbow, they are so pretty and make a delicious St Patrick’s Day Treat.
