Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can use gel food colors rather than mixing liquid colors to get the desired shade for your Jumbo Rainbow Cupcakes. Experiment with using your favorite colors.
  • tip 2
    To make a tie-dye effect, drag a toothpick through the batter and swirl. The result will be fun and colorful!
  • tip 3
    You can turn these Jumbo Rainbow Cupcakes into regular-size cupcakes instead, if desired. Simply fill paper-lined muffin cups with 1 teaspoon of each color batter. Bake as directed on box.
