Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor
  • 1 Small Sharp Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Gluten-Free Vanilla Cupcakes

Naturally Dyed Pink Frosting

  • 1 Cup Dairy-Free Vanilla Frosting Any vanilla frosting will work, I love Miss Jones Bakes Vanilla Frosting.
  • ¼ Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Add more or less depending on the shade of pink you want!

Naturally Dyed Blue Frosting

  • 1 Cup Dairy-Free Vanilla Frosting
  • ½ Teaspoon Blue Spirulina Powder Add more or less depending on the shade of blue you're looking for.

Instructions
 

  • Start by cutting a small about 1 inch wide and 1 inch deep in the center of each cupcake. I find cutting at an angle works best so you don't have too big of a hole to fill.
  • Next, use a spoon or piping bag to fill each cupcake with your desired color. Don't fill too high because you don't want the frosting spilling out the edges.
  • Cut the bottom part of the cupcake that you removed so you're left with a little "cap." Place the cupcake "caps" back on the top of each one to cover up the colored frosting.
  • Finish by frosting the top of each cupcake with vanilla or chocolate frosting! Enjoy!

Notes

** Note that nutrition facts will vary depending on the cupcake recipe and frosting you use!

Expert Tips

  • Use a small sharp knife to cut out the center of each cupcake. Cut at an angle or cut out a small plug so you can fill with the colored frosting.
  • Top the cupcakes with pink sprinkles and blue sprinkles, or funfetti sprinkles! I love Supernatural or Watkins naturally dyed sprinkles.
  • For cupcake liners, I love the If You Care brand because they're made of parchment paper so they will peel off easily.
  • Save time by using a boxed vanilla cupcake mix! Simple Mills makes one that is gluten-free!

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover cupcakes can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
To keep them fresh for longer, store in the refrigerator for up to a week!
You can also freeze unfrosted cupcakes in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator or on the counter and top with frosting when you're ready to serve.
