I'm so going to make these next time I make cupcakes! Oh, but did you know this? If you put the icing in an icing bag or a sandwich bag with a hole cut in the corner, it's easier to dole out batter. I've used this technique every time I've made cupcakes and it's never let me down!

if you got the message please sorry about that.

[KwartzKitten]

Huh?

[Solskinner]

Kwartzkitten, glad you stopped by and I am glad you liked the cupcakes! I did know the tip about icing in a ziplock bag but I have only tried it with icing I have made myself which is a bit more pliable than the stuff I had. I was using a store bought tub of icing and that stuff is SUPER  THICK. But now that I think about it,  I could microwave a bit of the store bought stuff and THEN put it in a ziplock!

BTW, if you make them, please post a pic!

[KwartzKitten]

Okay, no problem! But I realize now that I mistyped. I meant if you put the batter in an icing bag, it was easier to dole out batter. That ought to teach me to proofread more!

[Solskinner]

Now batter in an icing bag, now that is genius. Thanks for sharing. I'll be doing that next time.

[KwartzKitten]

Just glad I could help.

What have you done to Dashie!?

Either way, really awesome.

[jasminegill123]

[jakobus9]

rainbow foods are so popular these days :D really awesome!
I guess this doesn't work with chocolate dough? :(
now the very hard decision, rainbow cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes :o

[Solskinner]

Well, you could mix chocolate in the mixture in the same way the food coloring is added so you'd get swirls of chocolate.

pic3: like a piece of modern art :D

[Solskinner]

Yes, it does look like modern art. That is, art you can eat. ;-)

[Solskinner]

Thank you and do tell about the fanfic...

I'm going to make some of these to take to school with me. I have a friend who's a big MLP fan, and combining these with the fact that he has read cupckes, I think it will be hilarious.

[Solskinner]

If you do make them, please post a picture. I would love to see them!

Disclaimer: No MPLs were harmed to make these cupcakes, especially Rainbow Dash. :-0

[Solskinner]

Wait, I meant MLPS. :0

[REA]

No! What have you done to Rainbow Dash!!!
Anyway, these look very delicious! I might try to make these when nave the time.

[bronieblaze]

I had just repressed the memory of that abomination, and then I saw the preview picture.

[Solskinner]

Whew, that was close! Rainbow Dash is still alive and kickin'.

[Solskinner]

REA,

glad you like them and go ahead and make them, I dare you! :-)
