Tye-Dye Cupcakes

I actually got this recipe from my sister who found it from Sandra Lee on Food Network.com but since I've made them so much I kinda consider them my own. I make them every special occasion- birthdays, parties, or just to bring into class. I loved bringing in cakes or cupcakes into school because I would always be popular for that 46 minute period. Everyone would come up to me and ask me for a piece, especially the boys. Boys are just crazy when it comes to sweets. Some of them, I didn't even know there name and I'm not sure if they knew mine, but they would still come up to me and ask me for a piece. Some of my friends would automatically get cupcakes or a piece of cake, but some people(who really just liked me for my cake) I had to turn them down. I remember my friend once shoved 3 cupcakes in his mouth at one time- I laughed so hard, but i guess he really liked them. There are so many little stories that come with the cupcakes. I once made some for a boy I liked and my friend gave them to him. SHe told me that he said he loved them, and then later that day I saw him holding the container the cupcakes were in. I was ecstatic because I knew he liked them, but when I didd't like him anymore we secretly teased him for still having my container. Another time I was going to make them, but my friend had so many allergies, I made them especially for him so he could eat them and not die or anything.
I make other cakes too. Most of my friends can guarantee that they'll get a cake form me on their birthday. I always make my "famous" chocolate cake for holidays people ask me how I get it so moist, and it's really quite obvious. I ask them "what is moisture?" If they don't guess it right away I say "water-water makes the air moist and when I add it to my cake batter it makes the cake moist too."
If I'm bored at home I'll ask my mom if I can bake something. She usually says no, but I keep trying. Ever since I was about 9 or 10 I've loved to cook & bake. One day when I was home sick from school there was nothing else to watch on TV except the food network -- ever since then, I've been obsessed. I would just go online and print out tons of recipes from foodnetwork.com that I would ask my Mom if I could make my Bat Mitzvah even food network theme.
