I have make a lot of tie-dye cakes and cupcakes at home in the kitchen is so fun and I love to do it in my free time.
These cupcakes were easy,colourful and delicious too!yummy
It is a pretty good cupcake recipe
Theses cupcakes were a big hit for my daughter at school. Everyone loves them including the teacher, they sad they were too pretty to eat.
The cupcakes didn’t raise, I’m thinking because the recipe should have called for eggs. I’m going to try making them again following the box instructions and substituting white grape juice for water. The decorating would have been better looking had the cupcakes raised properly.
loved them! Made them for my daughters school, bake sale. Some buy bought all of them including my container! LOL
We written…from your neighbor on McGuire AFB :
i havent tried it yet but im haveing them for my birthday and plus they look good i hope they are good too
Made these for the 4th of July! They looked great, tasted great and nice to look at!
I loved the way the cupcakes decorate. The cupcakes were not so great. They fell apart when you ate them. My suggestion is use another cupcake reciepe and decorate using the gels she suggested. They come out looking beautiful.
