Rainbow Muffins

so...there's this 'rainbow' craze going on now apparently...rainbow cakes...rainbow biscuits...rainbow muffins etc....i never thought that i would jump on the bandwagon since 1. i dunt like to use food colouring 2. i never tot they were pretty....*dont shoot me*..but u know..since it's like a craze...i wanted to be able to tick the box and move on....i succumbed to it ...except mine came out to be more of a 'multi colour' muffin since the layers werent perfect

the thing about making the muffins or cupcakes (watever)....you have to make sure that the colours are really shockingly vibrant.....the brighter and bolder the colour of the batter is before baking, the better....as you can see in my pics.... the colours that are not as vibrant came out abit dull....

i used my chocolate and green tea muffins recipe (without the matcha and cocoa powder of course) but there are lots of other recipes out there using alot less ingredients....once u got the batter ready, just divide the batter up, add colouring and then layer the batter one colour at a time in muffin cups the bake it....i started off using muffin cups..then got lazy and just did it in the muffin maker directly...they came out pretty as well...as you can see in the pic....

this is the natural food colouring i used

Batter before baking

Muti-coloured muffins!!

so...did J and T liked them? unfortunately not....the muffins werent the problem..the problem was the colours....it actually grossed them out....hahhahaaaaa....but it's a good thing isnt it?? means i dunt ever have to make them again....although....with some fresh whipped cream or icing on top..they mite look pretty good for a party......
