Tie-Dye Cupcakes!!

My first real post is actually here?! I know, unbelievable right? Haha well this post is going to show you how to make tie-dye cupcakes!

 To start you need enough bowls for the amount of colours you want, any type of white cupcake batter, food colouring and a muffin tin along with cupcake liners.

The essentials!

 After your batter is all prepared pour it into separate bowls. I had four bowls for four colours. Once you have the batter put into your bowls, begin creating your colours. I made blue, green, purple and pink although the picture only includes the blue, red and the purple before it was mixed.

Once you have mixed your colours, it's time to get creative! Now you can choose your technique for 'tie-dying' your cupcakes. You can flick the batter with the spoon, swirl it or just create a pattern by layering the colours. Do whatever you think looks best. Get creative!

My approach to the tie-dye cupcakes was to begin by layering the colours so that when you bite into the cupcake there is a continuous change of colour throughout. Once it was close to being full I began to swirl and flick the batter to create very random designs. I had no plan for the design and just did what I thought looked good.

The creativity doesn't have to end here! You can dye your icing  to add more colour if you would like or just use plain icing. I used plain white icing so that when you bite into the cupcake you get a nice colourful surprise.

ps: sorry for the blurriness, that was the best picture that I got and I just couldn't leave it out!

Have fun making your cupcakes and don't be afraid to make a mess and get creative! Leave a comment if you tried this and tell me your opinion on this. Any suggestions for new posts are welcome! :-)
