“Rainbow Unicorn Cupcakes is a vibrant colourful cupcake which makes any party special. You will get a blast of happiness when you dig into the cake.”

Rainbow Cupcakes

This rainbow cupcake just makes me feel so happy. I absolutely LOVED enjoying into it to see all those gorgeous colorful layers! The best part is, this rainbow cupcake isn’t just for looks, it tastes absolutely amazing. You won’t have a crumb leftover.

The sweetest mini celebration cupcake!  layers of colorful, moist cake with vanilla flavour and a vibrant whipped cream frosting. Simple and suitable for small crowds, this little cupcake is delicious and fun for all ages!

I made this cake for my daughter maha’s 7th birthday. She wanted a rainbow theme so i incorporated rainbow and her favourite unicorn in one little cupcake. The cake looked super cool and colourful and the frosting is just awesome.

I coloured whipped cream with different food colours. Then i took a huge piping bag and added dollops of the cream into the bag. When i started to pipe around the cupcake, each layers got different colours and pattern. It created a lovely unicorn colour.

I have shared a different version of rainbow cake in this blog before. It has buttercream frosting in them.

Important Things To Note Before You Start

1. Bring all your ingredients to room temperature or even a little warm (eggs, buttermilk, butter, etc) to ensure your batter does not break or curdle. 

2. Use a scale to weigh your ingredients (including liquids) unless otherwise instructed (Tablespoons, teaspoons, pinch etc). Metric measurements are available in the recipe card. Scaled ingredients are much more accurate than using cups and help ensure the success of your recipe. 

3. Measure out your ingredients ahead of time and have them ready before you start mixing to reduce the chances of accidentally leaving something out.

4. Chill your cakes before frosting and filling. You can cover a frosted and chilled cake in fondant if you wish.

5.All purpose flour is a plain flour(maida) with no rising agents.
