After I first learned about rainbow cupcakes from my sister-in-law’s blog, I knew I wanted to make these with the kids during their spring break.
Of course, time ran out. We had so many other places to go and things to do, that we didn’t get around to making these until this morning…at breakfast time, just before heading out for an Easter weekend trip.
This was so much fun. My son wasn’t interested in any part of this until the eating. But Future Farmgirl was with me from mixing the batter, to dropping in the color and licking the buttercream icing off the spatula.
Because I’m an imperfect, often impatient cook, these didn’t turn out as pictured in Family Fun magazine. 
I overfilled the muffin cups. And I ended up with extra batter.
That extra batter turned out to be the best part, because my mini me gladly took the challenge of creating her own mini cupcake color combinations.
Family fun indeed!
