Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C, line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter and vanilla extract, sugar,  until smooth. [I didn't melted butter before using!]

5. In one bowl add orange food color and mix well to incorporate.
6. In another bowl mix pandan flavor (if using) & green food color and mix well too.  So we have now white, green and orange color batter.

2. Or to add light hint of colors, add desire tip (I used star tip) on piping bag and keep the piping bag in a tall glass. 
3. Use a paint brush or wooden skewer to paint stripes of color on inside of bag, starting at tip until 3/4 of bag.  I did very thin line you can make it thick/wide if you wish.

Vanilla flavor cream frosting cupcakes recipe
Notes ~
~ For eggless version
1. You can replace one egg with 1/4 cup of whipped tofu OR
2. Add 1 mashed banana, it also adds nice flavor to cupcakes.
~ I added pandan flavor, you can skip it and let be just vanilla cupcakes.
~ Skip the colors and make it as plain vanilla or pandan cupcakes.
~ Since these cupcakes are quite colorful, in frosting I added bare minimal of color. If you making it vanilla cupcake then add wide strips of colors, it makes frosting looks beautiful.
~ One more time will say it, do not smooth batter while filling cupcake liners. 
~ You will not get frosting in same quantity as you see in step-wise picture, that frosting I did for another cake so the quantity is very high.

Have a nice day ~~
