honey, i shrunk the cake.

As an edible tribute to the last week of my summer children's class, I decided to make cupcakes! After all, history (err, elemetary school) has proven that cupcakes are practically synonymous with celebration. And by virtue of my love for the science of chemistry, I'm always eager to seek out and attempt a new baking recipe. Not only did my newly discovered recipe turn out to be suprisingly simple, the final product was almost too precious to eat. Allow me to explain.

.....1. make a box of white cake mix
.
2. separate batter into little bowls
.
3. armed with various food colors,
dye each invidual bowl a different
color of the rainbow
.
.
..............4. stir with glee!

.
.

5. spoon one color into lined cupcake pan,

and then another color, then another...
.

.
6. bake the batch as instructed on the cake mix box
.
7. allow cupcakes to cool to room temperature
.
8. dollop the tops with fluffy white frosting
.
9. and what's a cupcake without sprinkles?
.


10. at this juncture,

if you haven't done so already,

graciously proceed to lick all utensils and bowls in eye sight.

.

.

When you top these babies off with fluffy white frosting,

they begin to look like a Rainbow amidst the CLoUDs!

note: these are NOT to be confused with "gay pride cupcakes," as previously referred to by a cheeky member of the family. FARAZ.
