Today At Gamervision – Rainbow Cupcakes For Joe’s Birthday!
By nikkita | March 27, 2009
Tomorrow is Joe’s birthday, which in Gamervision time means today. Joe is a pretty popular commodity in the office, he’s Gamervision’s sweetheart and we all have a schoolgirl crush on him (even if we try to deny it). And since Sarah and I are both victims of Joe admiration, we rushed to the opportunity to bake his birthday cake. The two of us really wanted to impress Joe and the rest of the office, so we put our noggins together and dug up something I had been saving for the dairy: rainbow cake. We decided to adapt this idea to cupcakes and the results were beyond success.
Six bowls for six colors. We ended up only using 3 colors per cupcake so it wouldn’t look too busy. The purple was definitely the biggest bitch to mix so beware and be patient.
Ready for the oven!
Looking a bit like a cup-melted-box-of-crayons but tasting totally delicious.
And Joe being a really really happy birthday boy.
We referenced Omnomicon’s Rainbow Cake, but decided to keep it simple and just go by the box. It ended up working just fine being sugary in its fullest. Only setback was that there were more dishes to wash but not enough to really complain about.
And in case you’re wondering what one cupcake with all six colors would look like, here’s the runt of the litter/the leftover batter cupcake.
Happy birthday, Joe!
