Ingredients
  

  • A White Batter Favorite Cake Mix 15.25 oz box
  • 1 Orange Supreme Cake Mix 15.25 oz box
  • 4 Eggs 2 eggs per mix
  • 1 C of Oil canola is what I used (1/2 C per mix)
  • 3 bowls for mixing.
  • Green food coloring
  • purple food coloring
  • Forks for mixing or a spoon.
  • Rubber scraper
  • Parchment Paper or Silicone Paper
  • Baking Trays

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F
  • Line 2 rimmed baking trays with either silicone mats or parchment paper.
  • Set them aside.
  • In one bowl, prepare the first cake mix.
  • Add to the bowl: white cake mixture from the box, 2 eggs, and 1/2 c of oil.
  • Mix very well, making sure that there are no dry ingredients left.
  • Set aside.
  • Repeat the process for the other boxed cake (the orange and set it aside)
  • Now, let's work with the white cake mixture.
  • Divide the dough in half.
  • Place one portion in a third bowl and color that with food gel coloring (purple)
  • With the remaining white batter, color it green with food color gel.
  • Last, leave the 'orange' cake batter as is, as it will be gold.
  • Now you should have 3 colors: Gold, Purple, and Green.
  • Slide a prepared cookie tray to your workspace.
  • Prepare 3 pastry bags (or plastic bags.
  • Inside each bag, place one color of batter.
  • Then, one by one, squeeze a .25 size amount on the cookie tray and do the same with the other 2 colors.
  • You will have created one cookier with three colors.
  • Continue until you have filled the tray and left enough space.
  • DO LEAVE Space between them as they will spread some.
  • Fill the tray.
  • Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes and no longer.
  • Allow the cookies to cool for at least a 1/2 hour before removing them to a cooling rack.
  • Once they are cool, ice them with melted chocolate (white) following the directions on the bag.
  • You can add optional sprinkles (I added gold edible glitter).
  • Enjoy the exploding taste of creamsicle.
