Rainbow Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing

Please See Other Recipes

These Rainbow Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing were perfect for her birthday celebration! They are great for birthday parties, baby showers, or like my three year old suggests, ‘Just Because’. The cupcakes are light and fluffy with a hint of almond extract. Creating that beautiful rainbow pattern takes a bit of time but is easy and looks super cool! The cream cheese icing is simply delish. There is no such thing as too much of this stuff!
Build up the cupcakes layer by layer, just applying a small amount of each colour per layer. If you have leftover batter you can go back and fill in the spaces. Bake for 15-18 minutes at 350° until a toothpick comes out clean.
