Radical Psychedelic Rainbow Tie-Dyed Cupcakes

Now, how funkedelic are these?!  Not to mention a fun family project.  In honor of Father's Day we had to make these for our favorite Deadhead.  This also was a great find right before Dylan's 12th birthday...like father, like son.  :)  The cupcakes are so beautiful after baked that it's tempting to not frost them.  


1 box yellow cake mix
3 large eggs
1-1/3 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 box neon gel food color
cupcake liners
frosting
decorative toppings


Make cake batter as directed on the box using eggs, water and oil.  Divide the batter into 4 different bowls.  Add different food color into each portion of batter; mix while still leaving it swirly in color.  Once you have all your colored batters, layer them in blobs by the spoonful into the cupcake liners.  Swirl the top gently with a toothpick.  Bake at 350 degrees for 18 - 21 minutes.  Cool pan on wire rack for 15 minutes.  Cool completely before icing.  Frost the cupcakes with your favorite frosting.  Sprinkle with fun, decorative toppings.
