Color Therapy

TASTE THE RAINBOW

Cold winter days are hard enough, add the words gray and gloomy in it and it would be the type that makes you want to cuddle inside and enjoy a lazy day. As psychological studies have indicated, colors can improve a person's mood, make these rainbow cupcakes and it will bring you out of the seasonal blues! Even if you don't believe in color therapy, the smell of fresh baking and treat for the taste buds will definitely do it!



These little cupcakes were time consuming, but the end product is totally worth it. I don't think I would have the patience to make them on a random day again, but will be one to go to for special occasions like a kid's birthday or something, as it reminds me of a clown's colorful outfit and ruffled collar! 


1) Make a white vanilla cake batter (either from scratch or box cake mix)
2) Separate batter into 6 small bowls
3) Add and mix the following colors to create different colored batter: Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red
4) Pour and layer the colored batter into cupcake liners in the above order
5) Bake for the time indicated for your cake recipe
6) Let cupcakes cool
7) Ice away!


For the frosting, I made a marshmallow fluff frosting, a recipe that I had found online a while back. Makes enough to frost 2 dozen mini cupcakes or so.


Ingredients:
2 cups of Butter
2 jars of Marshmallow creme
3.5 cups of Icing sugar
2 tsp. Vanilla extract


Beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add marshmallow creme and incorporate well into butter. Add sugar and vanilla slowly. Beat until light and fluffy. 


ENJOY!
