Pretty and pastel, these mini bundt cakes just say "spring." They're elegant enough to be served as Easter dessert, but fun enough for other less formal occasions. And as a bonus for any party host, they're stealthily simple to make because they start with shortcut ingredients like Betty Crocker™ yellow cake mix, Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting and Great Value™ pastel pink gel food color-the rest comes down to a few simple techniques that even beginner bakers can achieve. And as pretty as these little cakes are on the outside, don't underestimate the inside, either: It gets a pretty pink swirl of tinted batter that'll wow everyone.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 12 nonstick mini fluted tube cake pan cups (4x1 3/4-inch) with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
- In small bowl, place 1/2 cup of the batter; stir in 1 teaspoon of the pink food color until blended. Divide remaining yellow cake batter equally into cake pan cups (about 1/3 cup each). Drop 2 teaspoonfuls of the pink batter onto cake batter in each of the cake pan cups. Using table knife, stir in a circle 2 to 3 times to swirl color.
- Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Carefully loosen around sides of each cake with small, thin metal spatula; turn upside down onto cooling rack, and remove pans. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Place cooling rack with cakes over cookie sheet or waxed paper. In small microwavable bowl, add frosting and remaining pink food color (about 1 1/2 teaspoons); mix to blend. Microwave uncovered on High 10 to 15 seconds, stirring until smooth glaze consistency. If necessary, heat in additional 5-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth glaze consistency. Carefully spoon 1 tablespoon over tops of cakes (allow some frosting to drip down). Sprinkle tops of cakes with sprinkles.
- Store loosely covered at room temperature.
