Unfortunately, none of my photos really indicate how beautiful the cupcakes' insides were. Or how delicious they were. But they looked a little bit like The Dainty Squid's, albeit with a less-vibrant purple. Our purple was a little muddy but, you know, still really delicious. I brought five home in a shoebox but gave one to my cab driver along the way. He, too, agreed on the deliciousness factor.
In baking these - OK, co-baking them, really - I checked something else off my 101 in 1,001 List. Did I mention that they were beautiful & delicious? These last D.C. days sure are full of win.
I love it!!! It's been a while since I baked some cupcakes and next time I should do it like this.
ReplyDeleteYum! Want to send some over?
ReplyDeleteI love rainbow cupcakes!!! I think you get a more vibrant color when you use gel versus regular dye.
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious. Did you use a pastry bag to frost them? The swirl is perfect. =)
