I found these new cute pink cupcake wrappers at my local dollar store and couldn’t wait to get home to make cupcakes.
I decided to make rainbow cupcakes since it has been on my “to try” list for awhile. To be honest, it was much more time consuming than I thought it would be and mine didn’t turn out like those beautiful pictures that I have seen on pinterest but I still think they were pretty.

I love the little wrappers and look forward to using them on future projects.
I used a small melon-baller /scoop and it worked perfect.
RAINBOW CUPCAKES
To make the cupcakes, I used a white cake mix with ingredients required on box and added a box of dry cheesecake pudding.
I divided it up into four bowls and colored each bowl of batter. Using the melon baller, I put one scoop of batter from each color into each cupcake liner (4 scoops in all) and it turned out to be the perfect amount.
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1/2 box cheesecake pudding
Mix the pudding with the milk. This keeps the frosting from having that “gritty” taste.
Place the shortening, vanilla flavoring, and the pudding-milk mixture with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually add powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. The frosting should be light and fluffy.
