1 white cake mix

2 eggs

1 C sour cream

1/2 C milk

1/3 C vegetable oil

Combine all ingredients until incorporated (about 30 seconds). Scrape sides of bowl and then beat on med-high speed for 3 minutes.

Divide batter according to how many colors you are using.

Use food coloring to color batter to desired intensity. Wilton brand gel colors have the brightest colors and wont thin your batter. They can be found at Walmart or Michaels.

Tip:  Use a measuring spoon and some water to measure out how many teaspoons/tablespoons are going to fit in your cupcake. The water makes it so the batter doesn't stick to your fingers or the other colors. Then divide that by how many colors you have so you know how much of each color to use for each cupcake. For 5 colors, it works out perfectly with 2 t of each color in each cupcake. 

Bake them according to the package directions, until a toothpick comes out dry.

Frost with your favorite frosting. Fancy it up by putting the frosting in a ziplock bag. Cut off the corner of the side of the bag and you have an instant frosting decorating bag.
