Step 1

Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.

Step 2

Follow the cake mix directions to make cupcakes.

Step 3

Fill only 2/3 full to avoid spilling over the sides, then bake at 350° [176°C] for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan to cool completely.

Step 4

Mix icing with icing colour to make each shade for decorating. Dip a toothpick into the icing colour and mix well with the white frosting.

Step 5

Fill eight bags of frosting, one bag for each colour and a decorating tip# M1.

Step 6

Pipe frosting onto each cupcake and top with sprinkles.
