lemon rainbow cupcakes!
who does not love cupcakes?
its an individually wrapped cake of awesomeness just for you!
no sharing required!

however even though your regular white/yellow, chocolate, and devils food cakes are super tasty they can become dull and boring after a while.

lucky for you! i have created these cupcakes just in time!

Step 1Ingredients!

ingredients!
you will need

cake!
     * 2 boxes of your favorite WHITE cake mix ( must be white for colors to look super bright)
          * the other ingredients needed to make your cake mix as stated on the box
               * (mine called for 2 eggs and 1 1/3 cup water for each box)
     * 1 lemon 
     * food coloring  (the gel kind works best) 

frosting!
     * two 8oz bricks of cream cheese of your choice
     * one 2lb bag of powered sugar
     * 1 lemon

frosting bag!
     * qt size ziplock bag
     * sissors
     * cake decorating tips (if you dont have them its fine. just makes the frosting look all fancy like)

other stuff! (not pictured)
     * 2 large bowls for mixing cake and frosting
     * 6 smaller bowls and 6 spoons for mixing colors
     * hand mixer or stand mixer
     * large spoon (for dividing cake mix)

This is an adorable idea! I'm going to try it this weekend....using just red, white, and blue colors for the 4th of July! It would also be great to make with the colors of a favorite sports team. SO fun!

I also have to applaud you on your Ible... it's VERY well written and documented!

ill let you figure that one out. im going to use your recipe to make rainbow cupcakes, and just make a plain (but beautifully decorated) chocolate cake.
