oh bother. blog

you read that right. take two on the rainbow cupcakes was a success. (in case you’re just catching up, I want to do a rainbow/colorful theme for Holden’s first birthday party, which is two weeks away. My first attempt at making Spearmint Baby’s gorgeous rainbow cupcakes was a raging Pinterest fail.)

I did everything the same this time around, but instead of being aggressive and trying out my huge Wilton cupcake pan (I was thinking smash cake), I kept it reasonable and went with your standard cupcake.

It was late so I got lazy with the icing and just went with Betty, but I’ll make my own for her actual party. I usually make Magnolia’s vanilla buttercream icing, but I may try something new. I’ve had my eye on that coconut milk frosting that’s all over Pinterest (another fail on the way?)

So this is how I eat a cupcake:

Tear off the bottom, plop it on top. BOOM: cupcake sandwich.

Thanks again to Spearmint Baby for the inspiration!

If you were hoping I’d screw it up again so I had another Pinterest fail, don’t be sad: I also tried Oh Happy Day’s Mini Cakes last night. So yeah, I have another fail to tell you all about. But we’ll save that for another post.
