Happy fall! It is officially feeling like fall around Happy Valley; the trees are looking bare, the wind is picking up and the amount of girls wearing uggs holding Starbucks cups has risen significantly (no shame, I am one of those girls). A week ago as per a bonding activity with one of my e-board members - we decided to go a little crazy. A huge part of my life at Penn State is the South Asian Student Association. Not only have met some of my best friends through this organization, but I have received the most amount of requests for the link to my blog. Jason (shoutout!), is one of the events chairs on E-board with me this year and for our bonding date... we decided to get a little taste of both worlds.
After showing everyone in the board my rainbow cupcakes (sorry guys, those were before I had a blog), everyone was entranced. Jason and I decided we were gonna show everyone how a bonding date should really be - and make cupcakes for everyone. Little did we know, our rainbow cupcakes were going to turn into India cupcakes...just because Jason was very excited by the fact that the box of dye said that 52 drops of yellow and 4 drops of green made orange.
Although we took the easy way out and used a box mix... the pictures are definitely worth looking at!
Ingredients:
1 box mix of vanilla cake (you want white batter so you can dye it!)
-follow the instructions according to the box. If you are vegetarian (whaddup!), feel free to add yogurt, diet soda, or apple sauce instead of the eggs to keep the cuppycakes moist.
In order to dye the cupcakes, grab some food coloring at your local supermarket. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just your ordinary primary colors. Using plastic bowls or cups, anything that you don't mind throwing away - portion out the batter to however many colors you want to make. Go crazy. Add the dye, mix away and just see what colors you can come up with.
a little dye crazy..showing off our India pride, in a delicious little cake.
