Easter Cupcakes, Cupcake di Pasqua

When the boys were little we used to color eggs. They are not interested much anymore...but they are interested on Easter Cupcakes. Inspired by my friend Beth to who I promised I will make Colorburst Cupcakes at the end of the month.
 Here is my version with lighter food coloring just for Easter.

I only had a package of Betty Crocker super moist  lemon cake mix......I do follow the package directions but I do few things a little bit different.
I do sift the dry ingredients and add a bit of almond extract to the batter.


 I chose Blue and Pink food coloring. The blue turned green mixed with the yellow batter and pink turned into a pretty orange. (I think)
Divide the batter in three bowls and add the food coloring in two, since the yellow is already colored.
This is the batter without a layer of yellow

and with a layer of yellow to top it off.
Ready to go in the oven

Fun morning spent making Easter Cupcakes.

I also want to wish my brother Giuseppe
"Happy Birthday" the BIG  50!

Buon Compleanno a te Giuseppe!

Ciao for now
