Rainbow Cupcake
I figure if I just paint a cupcake, then I get all the fun, without the calories!
So, whenever I see an illustration of a cupcake, it’s shaped much like the one above. Nice and round on top. Why is it I can never bake cupcakes that look like that once frosted? They don’t come out with such a robust top in real life. One of my biggest pet peeves are cupcakes with enormous piles of frosting on top so that they look more like this. Thing is, that always equals to way too much frosting. As Alton Brown would say, not good eats. I like just a light, even coating of frosting. Mostly cake.
One of these days, I’ll come up with a brilliant solution to this problem. A cupcake that achieves that adorable rounded top, without the icing overload.
