Rainbow Cupcakes: I can finally taste the rainbow!

I’ve always wanted to experiment with colors on cupcakes and now that I found the time to do it, I dove into the whole idea! First of all, I know I have to use a lot of bowls and spatulas for this one, I didn’t realize it really was A LOT. Nevertheless, making rainbow cupcakes was the most relax I’ve had in the midst of school work piling and piling over.

So, the first rule, prepare all the ingredients and bowls needed. In this case:

5 bowls

5 spatulas

5 spoons (to go hand-in-hand with the spatula)

small bowl for dry ingredients

small bowl for wet ingredients

Ingredients

Prepare all the ingredients according to recipe instructions, but I didn’t use a recipe anymore. I already have the recipe in my head! A must for baking/cooking! Memorize the ingredients by heart ❤

Don’t mind the messiness, it naturally comes with baking, and the fact that I used a lot of colors.

Pour each color carefully into the cupcake liners. I strategically followed ROYGBIV… but with 5 colors only.. xD and added chocolate chips in between colors!

For some gravitational reason, the batter swirled itself while I was adding them one by one.. Not complaining or anything, I like how it turned out!

After 5 hours of carefully preparing the batter, not to flatten out the air bubbles, I’ve created an army of Rainbow Cupcakes ready to spread happy rainbows all over!

I know the outer kinda turned a bit brown, it’s really like that. So when you slice the cupcake in two, SURPRISE!

Last rainbow picture before this post ends! :D

I bet you all are like this now:

Mini Cinnamon Buns: Delicate, Handle With Care

So, here is the long-awaited post for the Mini Cinnamons! Been busy with doing this and that but now, I have the time to type some words and make a post! :D

This one is quite easy to make, the cleaning up part is the tedious part.. The dough just required some kneading and resting, just like how other doughs would be normally done. Rolled it out and sprinkled brown sugar with cinnamon. Put raisins halfway or 3/4 over the dough since you’ll be rolling the dough and you don’t want little raisin bits falling off the edges (Yeah, just ignore the holiday-decorated table cloth) ;P

Cut them out depending on what size you want it: I made a regular-sized batch and mini ones! I <3 the minis! It turned out very well, I must say. Brown top and soft & chewy on the inside. While it was in the oven, I can already smell the aroma it has to offer, and let me tell you, it was dreamy!

The Cinnamon Bun on the lower-right of the photo might seem a little odd and stuffed, it’s because it is the end part of the whole roll so it kinda blew up due to the excess dough from the whole batch. So yeah, if you prefer the one that’s on the middle, roll your dough evenly! Haha!

And here are the Minis! Gosh I’m addicted to them! Perfect for cocktails and get-togethers!

Stay tuned for more food posts! I’ll try to post a recipe next time! :D

Carrot Cupcakes (and a bonus mini loaf bread): Less Sweet, More To Eat!

I thought I should bake another Carrot Cupcake batch since the first time I did way back back then, it was super fail. And now, it turned out to be good and decent haha! Don’t wanna over-hype…yknow what happens xP

Whenever I go inside a baking utensils/ingredients store, I tend to buy more than I plan to. It’s just so addicting! I already have different sizes of pans, from 4” to 9” since that’s the only biggest that could fit my mini oven. What more if I have a huge oven! Haha! And now, the latest additions to my extending collection are a mini loaf pan and a heart-shaped pan. Here, I tested the mini loaf pan and it was gentle on the pastry, just like any other nonstick pans are. 

I like my cupcakes frosting-less and these little munchkins are the type that you don’t have to put mountains of frosting on just to taste good. It has this subtle sweetness to it so you can indulge in them without feeling the guilt afterwards. 

This just jumped to #1 spot of my go-to recipes for cupcakes. I like the texture, the taste, how fluffy it is with every bite.. Just go have a bite for yourself to see what I’m talking about! The official menu is now available, just leave your email to my ask box! Drool over this! xD
