Rainbow Cupcakes
In preparation for my Christmas Party, I thought I'd try out some recipes to see what's suitable to use at that time so I don't need to worry about it then (yes, I like to plan in advance;))
So today I baked some cupcakes. Recipe here.
Thumbnails under the cut.
My Ingredients(just ignore the rusks in the background)
The cake mixture
Adding the colouring
Everything's got colour in!
Added the M&Ms and now they're ready to be baked!
Out of the oven
A peek at the bottom...
What they look like after icing. I didn't make any blue icing, just normal chocolate icing. In my case: 1 kg of icing sugar, 250g margarine/butter(whatever you prefer) and 1 heaped tablespoon of cocoa and about 1T water(warm is best), this makes aquite a lot of icing (which I'll be using so it's no problem for me) but you can easily reduce the size of the recipe with no problems :)
The insides.If there are any of you planning a Halloween or Christmas party, I found that this site (the same one I got my recipe from) has very good ideas and suggestions.
