Mini Politically Correct Cupcakes

So Judie Bootie was over for breakfast, and naturally we decided to make cupcakes. But not just any cupcakes, mini tie-dye cupcakes! You can use just about any white cake mix and food coloring, but we used the ultra moist box of plain white cake mix. The mix called for 3 could-be omelettes, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, 2 cups of mountain fresh Britta water, and the Guardians of the Galaxey soundtrack on repeat. We then split the cakemix into 6 equal parts and distributed the food dye.
It all depends on how vibrant you want the colors, so you don't have to follow this exactly. RED: 15 red drops ORANGE: 7 yellow drops and 2 red drops YELLOW: 5 yellow drops GREEN: 5 yellow drops and 3 blue drops BLUE: 8 blue drops PURPLE: 8 red drops and 4 blue drops. We then used spoons to drizzle each mixture into the mini cupcake sweaters. 
Don't put too much in, maybe about a quarter of the way full. We filled some up to the brim and ended up with some unicorn vomit on the cooking sheet. 
Then we popped some in the oven for about 12-15 minutes at 330 degrees. We lined the baking sheet with foil to make for easy clean up if one of these little Mount Kilimanjaros over flowed. While those little queens were having a ball in the oven, we prepared the frosting. 
Using a cheesecake pudding mix as the base, we added 2 cups of malk and let the gloppy guk solidify. After about, who knows we weren't paying attention, you want to add a few heaping mounds of dead marshmallows. 
You can play around with the texture and add more things to make it more frosting-like, but that worked for us. After mixing that up, we stuffed the pudding plop into a plastic bag and cut one corner to apply the icing to the top of these little nuggets. 
Frost those sour saps up with your cheese spread and when you're done, you'll have something that will leave everyone asking how you made them.
