TYE DYE Cupcakes!

Tye Dye Cupcakes





Fully mixed Batter

Yum! What a wonderful Weekend we had. We made Tye Dye cupcakes. They  were irresistable. Delicously made with tye dye'd batter, home made frosting, and tye dye'd fondant cake topper decortaions. They came together as a delectable masterpiece. If I may say so myself. Lets check out the steps to making them.







Food coloring

  • First things first. Your going to chose any normal size cake box. Double it.
  •  Then were goign to add the ingredients. i.e: eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Then mix it. So now we have to fully mixed packages of cake.
  • After we have fully mixed our batter its time to divvy it up.
  • divvy it up into six bowls. Do your best to divide it evenly.
  • Then we choose six colors.
  • Since this is a tye dye cupcake I chose bright colors and put enough dye to make the batter look flourescent/neon. 
  • Mix in 1 of the 6 colors into each bowl. Color to your preference.
  • 
    Pastry piping bags w/batter
    
  • Once you have formed each of your colors you will need 6 large piping pastry bags.
  • Put each of your colored batters into a pastry bag and twist it to seal it.
  • Next get you cupcake sheet. Put your liners inside.
  • Tip: white liners are best your tye dye will become the design.
  • Your going to cut a very small tip on each of your pastry bag.
  •

  • Then put a small dollup/S shape/line/Squiggle of each color into each cupcake spot.
  •  Fill 3/4 of the way up. 
  • Tip: put very little of each color for each round.  The more layers you end with the more tye dye your cupcake will turn out.
  • When you finish, bake cupcakes at 350F for 18-22minutes.
  • While the cupcakes are baking its time to make our frosting and fondant toppers.
  • Frosting will be a generic white buttercream frosting.
    • mix frosting
    • put into pastry bag with LG piping tip of your choice.

  • We will also be making Tye Dye cake toppers.
    • Your going to choose 4-5 colors of fondant.
    • Tip: I use white Wiltons Fondant. Then I add coloring.
    • mix them together lightly to where you can still make out each color.
    • roll out to about 1/8" thickness.
    • cut out flower cookie cutters. These flowers are about a 1/2" long.
    • allow to dry for about 20 minutes.
  • When you take your cupcakes out let stand for 20-30 minutes for cooling.
  • We want to frost using piping pastry bag.
  • Then add one of each of your cupcake topper to each one.
  • These cupcakes look amazing in the middle as well! : )

  • Were all done.
  • Now enjoy!
