Tye Dye Cupcakes

My friend Trish hosted book club last week. Our book club is basically a wine night with a theme based upon what we read. We read Water for Elephants and Trish really did it over the top! She had Sangria, popcorn, hot dogs and these adorable cupcakes. Circus music was playing in the background and she printed off questions about the book. Everyone specifically noticed the tye dye cupcakes. These cupcakes would be great for a circus themed event or birthday party! Enjoy :)

Thanks Trishy!

Ingredients-
White icing- decorator's icing if possible but canned icing also works
Paste food coloring- I used cookie dye and it worked fine
Disposable icing bags
Icing tip-I used a star tip size 18
Small paint brush

1. Take your icing bag with the tip inside and fold it a quarter of the way down to make it more manageable.
2. With the paint brush, paint your different colored lines on the side of the bag. I just used four different colors but you can use as many as you'd like. Each line should start at the tip of the bag and go up vertically 3-4 inches with a thickness of half an inch.
3. Fill your bag with white icing and you are ready to decorate!
Tip- I stood the icing bag in a tall cup while I painted the lines and filled it with icing, keeps things from getting messy!
