rainbow cupcakes
October 11th, 2010
We had the much anticipated rainbow party this weekend and with barely any melt downs from the birthday girl, so I say it was a success! These cupcakes aren’t from the party, but don’t worry there will be much party posting this week. I made them on her actual birthday and I was pretty excited that they worked out. I made plain old chocolate cupcakes and some cream cheese frosting. Then I painted the inside of a pastry bag with stripes of food coloring going up the bag from the tip and carefully spooned the frosting into the bag. When I piped the frosting on, voila! rainbows! Just like a unicorn pooping, or do they barf rainbows? Whatever they do, one came and did it all over my house. And I’ll show you tomorrow.

Love those cupcakes! They are so pretty!
Those cupcakes are so pretty. Fantastic!
Oh man— rainbow theme? That is great!
Genius! They look stunning.
Let’s bypass the poop and barf, and go with unicorns breathing their minty fresh breath into the air and making rainbows. I forget you have a professional baking background until I see pics like these. Takes the sting out of the fact I can’t do such cool stuff! LOL I bet they were deeeeelicious.
I can’t wait to try this! I’ve been having a love affair with cream cheese icing lately and this will spice up our relationship.
These are cool and a barfing unicorn is hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
WOW sister!!! those are awesome. nice job.
These look great – I love rainbows too. And I think it is unicorn poop or clown barf.
amazing cupcakes :-)
So awesome! What kind of frosting tip did you use? They look perfect.
Are you on rainbow overload? We had a Willy Wonka themed birthday party this Summer for my seven year-old and for almost a month afterward I wanted nothing to do with chocolate or oompa loompas or Charlie Bucket!!
Don’t know about the poop or barf, but I have it on good authority they fart rainbow clouds.
OMG, Meg, can you be my mom? Holy cats!
Wow great cupcakes and great idea to get them that way
That icing is amazing. I’d try it myself, except I already know it wouldn’t turn out looking like that! :o)
Ha!! Had me laughing out loud, the little contrast b/n little girl parties and, um, unicorn output.
BTW? This works for meringues, too.
How cool. I imagine that if I tried that it would look more like conventional barf, mind…
Splendid! Love the cup cakes, can’t wait to see pics from the party.
So cute!!! So clever to paint the bag… I will have to try this :)
a sincere thanks for the serious chuckle. you’re funny! and I really appreciate it.
Wow, fantastic cupcakes :)
hehe “pooping unicorns”… You crack me up. Can’t wait to see the pics!
What a great birthday theme!! Such a cute idea definately going to file this away under ‘copy’!!
Hahaha, that’s hilarious! And those cuppies are AMAZING!
