Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Combine sugar, 2/3 cup butter and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until light and fluffy (1 to 2 minutes). Continue beating, adding eggs one at a time, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in all remaining cupcake ingredients by hand.

3. Combine all frosting ingredients except food color in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth and creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Reserve 1/2 cup frosting.
4. Divide remaining frosting into small bowls for as many colors as desired. Stir 1 to 2 drops food color into each bowl; mix well. If necessary, cut top of cupcakes off so surface is flat; place flat-side down. Frost rounded side of each cupcake; smooth frosting.
