I'm one of those people that starts Christmas shopping in September or October and I even start wrapping presents around that time as well. It's funny how just the months of November and December can completely change the attitudes of so many people because Christmas is just around the corner.
I wanted to share a fun cupcake treat with you that not only you will have fun with, but so will your kids, family or friends. I know I usually talk about decorating cupcakes but this time I thought I would change it up a little and talk about a fun way to add Christmas spirit when you bake cupcakes.
I started out with mix the usual cake mix and then I split the cake mix into 3 separate bowls. One bowl I left the cake mix alone so it had a white color to it. Another bowl I added about 5-8 drops of red food coloring and the last bowl I added 3-5 drops of green food coloring. Once the cake mix is mixed with the food coloring you should have white/plain cake mix, red cake mix, and green cake mix in the separate bowls. Do you know where this is going??... Yep, we are making Christmas colored cupcakes :)
As for the next part, you can play around however you would like, I started simple. I put a little of the plain cake mix in a cupcake liner and then added some red and then some plain again. I did the same thing with the green cake mix. Then I decided to step outside the box and do all the colors mixed together. I put the green and then red and then white. Once I was done filling each cupcake liner I put them in the oven to bake and they turned out so cool! I then decorated them as ornaments, snowmen, snowflakes and holly just to add a little more to the Christmas spirit. I hope you and your friends and family have as much fun with this idea as I did :)
