Add yellow food coloring to one bowl and orange food coloring to the other. Mix both well.
Evenly divide yellow batter between cupcake liners.
Evenly top the yellow batter with orange batter.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
For the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

To frost cupcakes, put frosting in a large Ziploc bag.

Let your cupcakes cool on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes before frosting.
