I make some like these too, mine are swirlies though. I usually put chocolate icing on top and use dark papers so no one knows these are all colourful. I love seeing peoples faces the first time the bite into one of these!

Going to try to add a different flavor to each color.
Red: Strawberry (Probably like a dab of jam or strawberry sauce)
Orange: Orange (Orange Juice)
Yellow: Lemon (Juice from a lemon + lemon zest)
Green: Lime (Juice from a lime)
Blue: Blueberry (Blueberry Juice, or possibly Blueberry pomagranite juice)
Purple: Grape (Grape Juice)
And I'll use frosting.
I love this, can't wait to make it!

You can save a little bit of money on this if you just buy the food colouring in the primary colours (yellow, blue, red) and mix the colours together.

Bah, following the directions turned out to be a little challenging with the portions/ingredient amounts that you provided. I did figure it out eventually though, despite some oven malfunctions that were totally unexplainable. :)
But these turned out adorable and my boyfriend thought it was the greatest birthday cupcake ever. :)

I LOVE these! I made them, and while it took me FOREVER to do the different layers of colors (I wanted to make sure they didn't swirl together), it was so worth it. They looked amazing and tasted great!
I put icing on them and surprised my friends with them. :) They were so shocked when they saw the inside and thought I had bought the cupcakes somewhere.
