Rainbow Cupcakes

So, my cousin Molly tweeted about wanting to make these Taste the Rainbow cupcakes, and Amber let me know just how happy she would be to have some on St. Patrick’s Day for Lex. I had to hit the grocery store for some items anyway, so I picked up a white cake mix.

While they turned out okay, I found them maddeningly hard to measure. The recipe online calls for 16 muffins, the cake mix is for 24 (each filled two-thirds full), so I went gonzo, and did them in 12.

To complete the obligatory faux-Irish setting: green plates, green napkins, green milk, broccoli. GREEN.

Lex got to lick some of the whipped cream, which started a sugar high that lasted until he crashed a few hours later, completely indistinguishable from the status quo.
