Tasty Tuesday- Cupcake Poppers

I saw these first on Crazy Domestic. As soon as I saw them I knew I HAD to make them.

I looked through my cabinet and I had everything I needed so I finally made these this past weekend.
And all I can say is YUM!!! 🙂

They do take some time but they are fabulous!

Cupcake Poppers

Ingredients:
-1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist White Cake (or your favorite brand/recipe)
(I thought I had a plain Vanilla cake mix but it was Funfetti so that is what I used and it worked just fine.)
-Food coloring, liquid or gel
-Vanilla Frosting
-Mini cupcake pan

Mix the batter as directed on the box.

Then separate into 4 different bowls, about 1- 1 1/4 cups batter in each.
Add 5-6 drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well.

Spoon batter into mini cupcake tins and bake @ 350° for 8-10 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test.

While the cupcakes are baking, separate frosting into 4 small bowls, and add 5-6 drops of food coloring to each and mix well.

Once the cupcakes are cool, cut off tops with a serrated knife.
You can eat those bottoms if you just HAVE to try the cake for a taste test. (HIGHLY suggested.)

Spread some color coordinated frosting onto the underside of one of the tops and then sandwich another top of the same color on top.

I then placed them into mini cupcake liners to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of my pan and so you can pick them up easily.

ENJOY!!
