I had a stack of liners that have been in the pantry for awhile. They had been ignored and overlooked in favor of my stash of more exciting polka-dot liners, or more vibrant colors. I also have some dinosaurs cupcake liners and cupcake toppers that I am saving for the right occasion. I've held on to them for well over a year now because the time was never right for dinosaur cupcakes....maybe one day soon.
Anyway, I decided that it was time to give my basic pastel cupcake liners a little love.
This project was really easy. All you need are cupcake liners that need a little excitement in their lives, food coloring, water, a bowl for each color you want to use, and somewhere to place the cupcake liners when they dry. I spread out a few sheets of paper towels to put mine on.
In each bowl, I put 3 tablespoons of water, and about 6 drops of food coloring. Then, I dipped the top of the cupcake liners in the bowl until I thought they had absorbed enough. I left them bottom-side up on a paper towel to dry.

| The pink and the blue liners keep photographing as white liners...but I assure you they are pink and blue. The yellow is still very obviously yellow. |

| These are giving me the urge to bake right now! But since this is Indiana in the middle of a drought, and it has been in the 90's nearly every day since...forever, I think I'll hold off on baking in the apartment. |
Steve, one of my kitties, was interested in what I was doing. He kept trying to take a peek to see what was going on. While the cupcake liners were drying he actually hopped onto the counter (which is a forbidden space for the cats) to try and check them out.
Next time I have white cupcake liners, I could do all sorts of colors! This time I stuck with pink, blue, and yellow - the same color as my liners.

| Steve, it's nothing tasty that you can try and beg for! Just paper and water! |
