My rainbow cupcakes

God when i first saw them, a couple of months back, i wondered when i earth would i get my chance to bake these little beauties. Love at first sight, you can say.

And finally today, i got the chance to make some of these rainbow cupcakes myself. They still need an icing, but they just looked so cute without it. Guess i won’t add an icing to this batch. The second one will have icing on them, God be willing.
