The domestic fairy bumped against me the other day when I saw a facebook friend's photo of rainbow cupcakes she made. Basically, it was cake batter that she had separated and added various food coloring to. A few spoonfuls of different colored batter and voila ... it's like tie-dye and baking collided and you've got this awesome looking cupcakes. So that gave me an idea ... I don't want to dye white batter into eight different colors, so why not just go for the basic flavors of chocolate, white and strawberry (like neopolitan ice cream), bake it in a waffle bowl and serve with whipped cream and topped with a maraschino cherry or two ... hmmm ...
The first batch FAILED! Apparently the batter softened the waffle bowls and the result is this awful looking mess.
With the second batch, I decided to just make regular cupcakes, in a muffin tin with liners and then put the finished products in the waffle bowls. Much better and more of what I had hoped it would look like ... here they are fresh out of the oven and nestled in the waffle bowls.
With only cherries on top, without whipped cream.
With whipped cream and cherries.
I think next time, I'll use white frosting instead. The whipped cream just didn't hold ...

Cute idea! I may just have to steal it for primary. The kids will love it!
