Rainbow Cupcakes

April 4, 2009October 23, 2023 13 comments

And finally, the last cupcakes I made were a tri-color cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting. While making the lemon cupcake batter, I saved some aside that did not have the lemon, leaving a basic vanilla batter. I separated that into three and colored two of them pink and green. I spooned each color into the cups to creak the rainbow effect! 🙂 For my first attempt, I think they turned out really great!
