Rainbow Vanilla Cupcakes

Vanilla cupcakes are like a  blank canvas.  There are so many options you can use to decorate them, let your imagination run wild. They make a great base recipe for many other types of cupcakes.

I will share with you my favourites throughout this blog and some of the ways I have decorated them .  You can decorate them as elaborately or as simple as you want depending on the occasion.  Sometimes, a dusting of icing sugar is all they need.

In this recipe I will show you how to make rainbow vanilla cupcakes.
