Surprise Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting

I made these wonderful cupcakes for a committee banquet I was at last week.

My inspiration was this picture:

My friend had posted this picture to my facebook and I was interested in making these since they seemed like would be fun to make.

I decided to make this as easy as possible for me: white box mix and some food coloring.

I also did my filling of cupcakes two ways.
First way, I wanted the outsides of the cupcake to look like that picture so I made sure that the batter that I layered was towards the outside of the cupcake liner.

Second way, I made it easier for myself by just layering the batters on top of each other through the middle.

They both turned out pretty crazy looking from the top. I thought I had messed or something because the tops were so colorful and not JUST the red on top.

The insides were gorgeous though.

I decided to top them with canned frosting [I KNOW, I HAD A MIDTERM SOON] and some rainbow nonpareils.
