Candy Corn Cupcakes!

Ok, so they're creamsicle cupcakes meant to look like candy corn. Also, they turned out sort of tie-dyed, so not even really that candy corn-like, but oh well! They're festive!

1. Start by making your favorite vanilla cupcake recipe, but leave out the milk. I used this one.
2. Split the batter into three equivalent sections.
3. To two of the sections add the equivalent of 1/3 of the milk to each. Add yellow dye to one of these sections.
4. To the remaining section, add orange soda syrup (in the equivalent proportion of the milk).
5. There should be three sections now, one orange, one yellow, and one white.
6. In the cupcake tray, layer yellow batter, orange batter, and then white batter.
7. Bake as instructed.
8. Top with your favorite frosting (I used butter cream) 

Here is the recipe I used (adapted from Joy of Baking)
1 3/4 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup milk, divided amongst two sections
1/6 cup orange soda syrup (this is the one is used)
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
