Adding a little color to my life




Why: I wanted to do something fun and a friend had mentioned her love of rainbow cakes/cupcakes. Since her super bowl party was quickly approaching, I thought it would be the perfect time to give it a go. I also thought it would be a great opportunity to break out my new light cube for the photos.

What: I did a simple white cake batter that I split up and colored with my gel food coloring. To get the layer effect I careful dropped some into each muffin cup and made it level. Towards the end I lost my patience and just did a mishmash of colors. For the party I did half with lemon curd and buttercream on top (a requirement for my sister) and the other half was a orangesicle frosting. I hate all things orange flavored but the orangesicle was still pretty tasty.
