How to Make the Cupcake Batter
Step 1: First, we made up a box of White Cake Mix according to the directions on the box and split it into three bowls.
Steps 2 & 3: To color the white cake batter we used the Wilton Color Right Food Coloring. For the purple cake batter, we used 4 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue, and for the bright green cake batter, we used 2 drops of yellow and 2 drops of blue. For the Chocolate batter, we added 2 tablespoons of Unsweetened Cocoa Powder.
How to Create the Marble Cupcakes
Step 4: Prepare your cupcake tin with cupcake liners. We used white so that the multi-color effect of the cupcakes would show through once the cupcakes were baked. Using a small spoon start adding different colors of cake batter into the cupcake liners. There is no wrong way to do this. The smaller each spoonful of batter is, the more colorful the finished cupcakes will be.
Let your creativity soar! We didn’t do any cupcakes the same. We did try to use a little more chocolate batter in each cupcake than green and purple so that the colors would stand out more. And we found that the ones where we started with a chocolate layer and ended with a chocolate layer looked like an oreo cookie instead of the pretty and colorful tie-die effect so you might want to stay away from that combination.
Baking Instructions
Step 5: Bake the cupcakes according to the directions on the box of cake mix that you used. Check often at the end of the cycle and test for doneness with a wooden toothpick.
Step 6: Here are the Bewitched Cupcakes just out of the oven. So pretty, even without frosting.
How to Make the Homemade Buttercream Frosting
Step 7: To decorate the cake we used our Best Buttercream Frosting Recipe. So easy to make and super delicious. You can find all the directions to make it here.
Step 8: We colored the Buttercream Frosting Bewitched Purple by using 4 drops of pink and 2 drops of blue Wilton Color Right food coloring.
Step 9: We used a decorating bag and a Wilton 2D Decorating Tip to swirl on the frosting. Finally, we topped our Bewitched Cupcakes with some homemade sprinkles that match the Purple, Green, and Black colors from the cupcake! This is super easy to do and really makes your desserts look special! We have all the directions you’ll need to make your own sprinkles right here.
