After all of the previous mishaps I had, I wanted to start off with something that didn't seem too hard. So, I just made a simple yellow cake with an easy buttercream frosting. The presentation of the cupcake means a lot to me; if it's not pretty, I want nothing to do with it. So to jazz up the recipe, I divided the batter into five bowls. I used a different color food dye in each (pink, green, blue, purple, and yellow). I spooned a little of each in every cupcake liner and then that was that.
Once the cupcakes were done baking and cooling I frosted them. I left the buttercream white because I didn't want to take away from the colored cake. Instead, I sprinkled the cupcakes with five different colored sugars.
Nothing to great happened to me while baking these. Everything went smooth for once in my life. I had all of the ingredients, I didn't measure anything incorrectly, nothing burned to char, etc. I can only hope that next week goes as well, but you never know...
Here is the recipe I used:
