1
Begin by preheating the oven to 180c and placing 27 mini cupcake cakes into mini muffin trays.
2
In a large bowl combine the flour, caster sugar and baking powder.
3
Next add the apple sauce, vanilla extract, vegetable oil and dairy free milk. Combine until the mixture is smooth.
4
Split the mixture between how ever many colours you are using (7 if using the exact colours above).
5
Add 3/4 teaspoon of the liquid food colourings to each bowl so you end up with 7 different coloured mixtures.
6
Next split the red mixture between the cupcake cases and then repeat with the rest of the colours until the cases are roughly 3/4 full.
7
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes before allowing them to cool completely on a wire rack. Place a toothpick in the centre to make sure they are cooked. It should come out clean.
8
Whilst the cakes are baking prepare the butter cream by whisking together the butter and icing sugar until fluffy and light in colour. Empty into a piping bag and place in the fridge whilst the cakes cook and then cool.
9
Once the cakes are cooled completely pipe the buttercream onto them and then top with sprinkles and skittles. Enjoy!
