Every year work has a bake sale to help raise money for United Way, which is a great organization to support by the way. Since this year, I'm on the team that plans and executes all of the company events (and because I knew that a bake sale would leave people expecting something tasty from my kitchen) I had to come up with something awesome! Our sale was right before valentine's day and I was in the mood for something pink and light... I've found the winter months leaving me longing for fresh fruit and sunshine. I had a co-worker come up and ask that I make something with raspberry so by the end of the afternoon I had come up with a plan - lime cupcakes, with a raspberry buttercream frosting. The fun part of this was dying the cakes. I have made a few of those fun/funky rainbow cakes, ya know, split up the batter, dye it different colors with food coloring and then drop them into the pan. TADA! cute little multicolored cakes! Next time i'm gonna make something marbled... maybe do a special st. paddy's day cupcake....mmm beer cupcakes! Ooh the possibilities.
