My son's fascination on rainbows at that time gave me the idea to make some colorful rainbow cupcakes for him. And so I went on a recipe hunt again but this time I used my Allrecipes app in my iPad and I came across this:
Rainbow cupcake recipe
The cupcake in the photo looks really nice so I tried making these cupcakes with this recipe and this is what mine looked like:
The batter...it kinda took me around 8 to 10 drops of food coloring for each in order for me to achieve the intensity of the color that I want. Also, I found the batter too thick so it was a bit of a task pouring them in the cups.
The first batch...I was actually happy with the way it looks like when I took them out of the oven. I feel like a kid in awe while I was taking it out from the oven because the colors were really striking! But nothing can top my son's wide-eyed reaction when he saw them :-)
Being my OC self, I wasn't so happy with how the batter rose this way. It rose too high or maybe I've just put too much batter in the cup. Having it this way made it hard for me to put frosting and decor on the cupcake so I just left this batch this way.
Here's a photo of my son with his rainbow cupcakes. He couldn't wait til it cools down to taste it. He grabbed one as soon as the cupcakes were warm enough to hold. I got envious and so I got one myself and tasted it...
I wasn't really too happy with the taste. Yes it looks really nice but it was a bit hard. I'm not sure though if it's because I overbaked them but I have a feeling that it really is because of the ingredients in the recipe. It wasn't the moist type of cupcake that I was looking for. And so I noted to myself to search for the best vanilla cupcake recipe there is and try this again. I will be posting another blog on how that quest turned out. I have to go back to work :-) (As in office work!)...
