Tie-dye cupcakes with tie-dye swirled frosting

These tie-dyed cupcakes by Diary of a Mad Hausfrau get bonus points not only for having a colorful, tie-dyed cake but a gorgeously swirled frosting! See more at her blog and in her Flickr account. Visit her blog to find out more about how she made them...and what rock star inspired them.

To get the tie-dye effect, once mixed, I separated the batter into five equal parts and using gel food color tinted each a different shade. For these I used Wilton's gel colors Violet, Sky blue, Buttercup Yellow, Orange and Leaf Green.
