All the Cupcakes of the Rainbow - May 2006

These are the rainbow cupcakes that I made for my daughter, Cara, to celebrate her birthday at school in 1st grade.

The colored batter before we baked them.

Since Cara's birthday is in the summer, near the end of school we let her bring cupcakes to celebrate her birthday with her classmates in school.  So, for 1st grade she wanted rainbow cupcakes, and she wanted the inside to be colored also.  So, we made vanilla cupcakes and added the appropriate food coloring to the batter before we put them in the oven.  After they baked we mixed up different colored icings (by adding food coloring to white icing) to match the cupcakes.  The kids thought it was cool that when they bit into it there was color inside too.
