NOTE: Use a box of White cake mix instead of making the cake from scratch. Then start from step 4. Homemade is always tastier, but the reality is, not everyone is a baker, has all the ingredients, or prefers the convenience of just having to add oil and egg to a prepackaged mix.
I didn’t follow the colour order as per the recipe. I just put whatever colour The Boy wanted to put next. Although, when I do it again, I won’t finish with green on top. Got feedback that it looked like my cupcakes had moldy fungus! LOL
