This is one of the first completed trays of cupcakes we created. This tray
doesn't include any of the larger sized cupcakes.
We dyed several bags of frosting light blue, dark blue, orange, pink,
yellow, and purple and used these colors to both frost and decorate each
of the cupcakes.
In these pictures it's easier to see the colorful cupcake covers we used.
Oftentimes the covers used are made of paper, but these are made of
aluminum foil which is easier to remove when you want to eat your cupcake
and helps keep the colorful designs that might be on the outside of the
cupcake cover. The downside to this kind of cover is that if you wait too
long, like we did, to frost and eat the cupcakes, the cover begins to come
off of its own volition, which caused us some trouble when we began
decorating them.
Like the frosting we dyed, we also dyed bags of cake batter and layered
them color by color into the pan. We quickly discovered that it's easy to
get carried away, leaving some layers of color thicker or thinner than
others. This was something we had never attempted before, but all things
considered they looked and tasted great.
Having not put a huge amount of planning into the number of cupcakes we
were going to make, we found that we had odd amounts of leftover batter.
We used the leftover chocolate and vanilla batter and mixed them together
in the cupcake tins. When we took them out of the oven, we discovered that
our cupcakes had what appeared to be cow spots.
