In a second bowl, mix in a few drops of yellow gel food coloring.
Leave the third bowl color free.
Spoon 1 and ½ tablespoons of yellow cheesecake batter into the crust.
Spoon 1 ½ orange batter onto the yellow batter, and using a flat mini spatula, try to spread the orange layer evenly over the yellow.
Using the color free batter, spoon 1 ½ tbsp of batter onto the orange batter and gently spread to try to cover the entire orange layer.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set(It’s okay if there is a slight jiggle in the center).
