These cupcakes are super easy they just take a little time.
Use a white cake mix (like betty crocker) and make the mix according to the recipe on the back of the box. You want the cake to be white so that the colors will really show up.
Then divide the cake mix into six different cups. You can use regular food coloring but gel coloring works best (you get more vibrant color with less coloring).
Make the basic four colors: red, blue, green, yellow. Then make orange (a lot of yellow and a tiny red) and purple (equal parts blue and red).
Put the liners in the baking dish. Then you can layer them in any order you choose. I follow ROYGBV, just backwards (so violet is on the bottom and red is the top of the cupcake). Pour a little purple in each, then blue, and so on...
If you want to get really creative you can take two colors, like purple and red, take a spoon and hold it upright in the middle of the cupcake liner. Then pour purple in one side and red in the other. Take a toothpick and gently swirl the two together!
You can also use aluminum baking liners if you want the cupcakes to be a surprise. People won't expect a rainbow!
