These cupcakes are by far my favorite to make–all the bright colors are as much fun to mix and put in the oven as they are to take a bite out of! Very affectionately known as homocakes.
Ingreeeedients!
Over-flashed batter!
Prettily colored batter! Except the purple. I screwed that up a bit.
Yum!
Colorful (NEON) vanilla buttercream frosting!
Mmmm. Impressive! (To me.)
