Rainbow Cupcakes

We love Family Fun Magazine around here! I was so excited to try these St. Patrick's Day inspired rainbow cupcakes. So, while Ivy was taking a nap, Max and I needed a super-special uninterrupted Max and Mom project, so here it is:
We learned about mixing colors. Max helped me count the specified drops into each cup, and loved to watch them turn from just red and yellow into orange as he stirred.
The layering part was a little long for his attention span, but Grandma called in the knick of time, so it all worked out! (Max knows how to answer my phone, now.)
While they were cooking, we worked on following directions to draw a rainbow {I didn't help him at all...He even wrote his very own Capital R at the top..hee hee. and we learned about the order of the colors.
Out of the oven, we added a little white frosting cloud, and then ate 'em...yum! They were so beautiful, and such fun to make and eat!
