My girlie turned double-digits. Which meant dinner and a movie out with friends. Its not lost on me that my invites to those ventures out are on borrowed time. Soon they will have licenses and plans that don't include cool moms. I had a blast getting out with them, and am so grateful that she has such sweet, strong girls in her life!
She wanted to take the BEST CUPCAKES EVER to school for her birthday treats. Whenever others bring theirs, she has to eat a cookie from the freezer because whatever they bring has gluten. Kids are kids and they aren't always nice about the stuff that she brings in her lunches and for snacks. I'm lucky enough to have a girlie who likes things like curried lentils and rice or sweet potato burritos. She tries not to let them get to her, but it does. And despite my greatest efforts, her cookies and treats rarely look very appetizing. She was on a mission to prove to them that gluten-free can be awesome.
So we did!
Rainbow cupcakes.
To make these, just divide up your batter into 5 bowls, and add a different food coloring to each one. Drizzle them into the cups in layers. They stay pretty separate as they bake up.
We used the gluten-free vanilla cupcake recipe.
And icing on the cake - the kids loved them!
Happy birthday, my girl!
