recipe: colored cupcakes

saw this recipe on tablespoon.com and had to make it. all i needed to make them was a box white cake mix, white frosting, some sprinkles, and some food coloring. i'm elaborating to think you could use this recipe and make fun colored cupcakes for any occasion. for example: use your school (or college) colors to make cupcakes for a "touchdown" party. or you could even make the cupcakes light blue or pink for a baby shower. all in all, you can use this recipe to make cupcakes for any occasion.

you'll need:
1 box white cake mix (has to be white, and use egg whites only)
all ingredients according to box directions (eggs, water, and oil)
whipped white frosting (pre-made tub)
sprinkles (optional and your color choice)
food coloring (optional)

to make:
1- mix white box cake mix according to directions. then divide batter evenly into as many bowls as you want colors.
2- add food coloring to each individual bowl of batter. put batter into cooking vessel (either cake pan or cupcake lined tin) in order of color desired (i.e. rainbow- i went in the order of purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, red). be sure to fill only 3/4 full.
3- bake per box directions. let cool.
4- color icing if desired and ice cake. complete with sprinkles (if desired).
