Polka Dot Cupcakes

If there are two things I love, it's cupcakes and polka dots.  

So why not mix them together?!

Let me show you how.

 I should warn you that this is a little time consuming.  Well, more time consuming then your average little ol' cupcake.

First get all your ingredients for white cupcakes.  

I used just the pre-packaged white cake mix.  (this mom is a little busy to make things from scratch)

Follow those handy dandy directions on the box.

When it's all mixed up, divide the batter into three bowls.  I eyed it to make it even.

I decided to use the colors blue, green & orange.  (since I already had the food coloring from my son's first birthday party)

So once you divide your batter, mix in a little color.

Then bake each color in a cake pan using the directions on the box.

After those are done baking, it's time to make some itty bitty cake pops.

If you aren't sure how to make cake pops, let me know you it's really easy.

I started off with the blue cake and put it in a big bowl.  Take a little frosting and mix it all up.  It's easier to use your hands to mash.

Then start to form your itty bitty balls.

Once you are done with the blue (or your color of choice), do the same to the others.

At the end of it, you will have a bunch of little tiny cake balls.

Now it's time for cake mix #2.

Mix all that up and once that is done, it's time to start getting the actual cupcakes ready.

First I started out by putting two little cake balls in the cupcake holder.

Then I poured some of the white cake batter onto those balls.  Just a little bit though.  Then I put two more little cake balls on.

Then I put some more white cake batter on top of that.

Then one more layer of cake balls.

Then topped that off with some white cake batter.

Repeat.

Just remember I did warn you it is time consuming!

Then bake them.

Frost them.

Enjoy them.
