Tablespoon is having Double Rainbow Week and we contributed some Double Rainbow Cupcakes! I was so surprised to open my Tablespoon Newsletter to see them front and center, what an honor! Thank you!

My kids loved these cupcakes so much that we made 72 of them to take to school and share. They were a huge hit and definitely something we’ll be making often. 
My favorite part is that the kids get to help mix, mash and drizzle the colored batter. There’s something for everyone to do and a great way to make some fun kitchen memories. First, gather up your ingredients, prepare the cake mix according to package directions and divide into 6 quart-sized freezer bags. 
Add food coloring to each bag (one for each color of the rainbow), seal tightly and let your little helpers mix and mash until combined. 
After all your colors are mixed, you’re ready to pipe out your cupcake batter!
Cut a small piece of the corner of each bag and squeeze about 2 tsp into each cupcake wrapper. Don’t worry about covering the entire surface with each color, just make sure they get added in “rainbow order”. 
Bake at 350 degrees for 18-22 minutes, until done. While your cupcakes are baking, melt each color of chocolate and spoon each into quart freezer bags. Tape down some wax paper and draw rainbows! If you’re like me and need some guidelines, you can download this rainbow template and place underneath your wax paper. 
Let set completely, about 15 minutes. Don’t worry if they look messy on the back, when you peel them off, the smooth side will be gorgeous!
Frost the cooled cupcakes with white icing and place a chocolate rainbow on top. Now if there were only a pot of gold included! ;)

These cupcakes just make me smile! I cannot wait to be able to make them with my little one when she is older! Kerri
Looks like fun!! Wish I had had these for rainbow day back when the kids were in kindergarten!
What kind of chocolate did you use to make them colorful? Sorry if this is a dumb question!
That is NOT a dumb question!:)
We used Candy Melts--they come in all kinds of colors and are made by Wilton. You can get them at Jo-Ann, Michaels, and most craft stores or cake supply stores.
I love these cupcakes, too cute.
These are just precious.
those are super cute! as are your little helpers. we miss you guys!
awesome. you could sprinkle some kind of gold or yellow sugar on top.
How fun are these?!!
You could always add a mini peanut butter cup (there in gold wrappers) to the cupcake for your pot of gold.
Awesome, love them!
That's a lot of rainbows, x2! Wow, they look fantastic!
very pretty! love it ;)
Love it!! I will have to try these one day when I am feeling very brave! :o)
I love these cakes. Such a clever idea to mix the different colours in freezer bags.
Such a cute idea! I've seen rainbow cakes before, but the "cloud" and rainbow on top are wonderful.
It was also super clever putting the batter in ziplocks and having the kids mix it up! What a great way to make baking easier for kids.
how do you stop the chocolate from setting before you make the rainbows??
These look so super
So cute...I need to make these for my daughter's birthday! But I can't find the link for the rainbow template. Would you email it to me? Thanks!
