It’s been an interactive week at the Watson house.  After being inspired by Kelly’s Blog, and knowing that I needed to make snack for 10 hungry soccer players for this weekend, I decided to give Rainbow Cupcakes a shot.  Knowing that 4 and almost 6 year olds, namely Claire and Michael, and maybe even an almost 3 year old Jacob would find this project totally exciting, Erika and the tribe came over to help.

Here is the recipe, sans frosting of course.  I did double it so we would have enough batter for everyone and it made just under 4 dozen cupcakes. The batter filled the bowl on my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer up to the tippy top and was very very thick - which made it perfect for filling the different colors.

The colors we started with….I probably should have used more food coloring for a brighter result, but these turned out just fine.

The kids filling the cupcakes — we dropped a spoon full at a time in each cup with a different color
