Rainbow Cupcakes :)

In december I baked rainbow cupcakes with my boyfriend.
They were yummy but also beautiful.

After making the cake batter we scooped the batter in to multiple plastic cups and added different food colours.



As you can see, we used the colours:
*orange
*red
*pink
*purple
*blue
*green

Then we added a small layer of each colour in each silicon cupcake thingy (they are the pink ones) or the paper cupcake thingy's that are in the cupcake pan..





We did not have enough of each colour since my boyfriend was a bit excited in the beginning and used to much, but that doesn't matter, because they still looked great :D!

The we put them in the oven.

Out of the oven they looked like this:









As you can see, the colours are very bright.
But wait...it gets even better!!!







Aren't those colours amazing!!!?

And after I took a bite out of it :D :





Even the cupcake paper looks like a rainbow.



Other cupcakes:









Sadly, I can't post the recipe today.
I'm at my boyfriend's place and the recipe is at my place, so maybe some other time ;).

Do you bake?
And when you bake, do you keep it neutral or colourful?

Until next time,

Cupcakes :D

Last saturday me and my friend Marloes decided to bake some cupcakes.

The cupcakes are coconut-vanilla-cinnamon cupcakes and they tasted yummy en sweet.

These were decorated with white(-ish) and green marzipan and black pearls.

We coloured the green marzipan with Wilton food colouring.

The little figure on the middle of the plate is a snowman :D.

He looks kind of weird but it was fun making him.

And these were docorated with fondant glazing.

We put it in the microwave to melt and added some electric purple food colouring.

On top of that we put black pearls and some easter themed sprinkles (eggs, butterfly's, hearts and flowers).

You can't really see it, but the cupcake papers (I'm sure there's a different word for that I don't know) are red with white dots, really cute!!!

We had great fun making, decorating and eating them.

Perhaps we should do this more often ;).

Until next time,

Baking Frenzy

I like to bake.

In fact I like it an awful lot.

Since I'm allergic to dairy, I can't eat even the most basic cookies/cakes/etc. from supermarkets and bakery's, so ... I started baking them myself :D!

Here are a few things I baked the last few months:

*The first time I used buttercream and rasberry icing

*Cinnamon/vanilla/walnut muffins *love* with icing

*These are the first cup cakes I baked in my appartment:D

They were supposed to be blue, but I didn't use enough food colouring, so they turned green.

*This Schwarzwalder Kirsch Torte I baked with my boyfriend, it was delicious (the cake ;) )

*My best friend Marloes baked this with me on a hot sunday

She decorated the pink and blue ones

And I decorated the purple and green ones

And the boyfriend also wanted to decorate one :D

The decorating didn't really go flawless, since the marzipan got sticky because of the hot weather.

These are all the pics I have for now.

Somehow I usually forget to take a picture.

Anyway, I'm probably going to bake a cake today, since the boyfriend and I have our two month anniversary *cheers*.

Do you like to bake, or do you just stick to the eating?

Until next time,

Freya
