Is there anything more cheerful and wondrous than rainbow frosting?!? For reals. I don’t care how bad a day you might be having - if someone hands you a rainbow cupcake, you’re gonna smile. Well, at least on the inside.
For me, the most time consuming part of rainbow cupcakes is simply separating the buttercream and coloring each batch. But it’s so worth it. Every time I make rainbow cupcakes, I have the best time choosing just which shades to use and assembling the piping bag. I can’t help but smile swirling big rainbows on top of each cupcake, knowing how they light up everyone’s faces and moods when they see ‘em.
This is also a great opportunity for kiddos to help in the kitchen — who wouldn’t want to whip up rainbows?!
