Wad dat: Care package & Rainbow cupcakes recipe

Don't know what to get a friend for their birthday/christmas? I didn't either. I'm a girl and i find it super difficult to find gifts for guys because they're just so easy going. They'll accept whatever and they never give you hints on what they want. Gosh

My jerk face best friend's birthday was a few days ago and because I was so busy with University and being away from home (aka away from malls and anything civilized), I decided to give him a care package!



A care package normally consists of just food so I decided to jumble up stuff he likes. (Also added a Deathly Hallows bracelet cause why not). Care packages are so simple and it shows just MAYBE how much you know about a person. or not. its fine. That person will accept it whether or not they favourite Skittles. Or my homebaked cupcakes. meh.

Yeah I sorta baked the cupcakes myself. OK, not sorta.

Rainbow Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream

100g butter
100g white granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
195g cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 cup milk
4 different food colouring of your choice


  • Cream the butter and sugar until white and fluffy
  • Slowly add the eggs (one by one) then later add the vanilla extract
  • Sift the cake flour, baking powder and salt. Then gradually add the flour mixture into the already wet mixture
  • Gradually add the milk and whisk till all mixed
  • Divide cupcake batter into four bowls and add food colouring of your choice

I used turquoise, lime green, cotton candy pink and purple.

  • Next add half a teaspoon of different cupcake batter to each cup. (I dont even know how this is making sense to you guys so luckily I took a picture)
  • Bake in the oven for 15-25 minutes (170 degreesC)
100g butter
1 1/2 cup icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp milk

  • Basically making the icing/frosting is easy. Whisk together the butter and icing sugar until, I repeat, until, the mixture is white and fluffy. 
  • Add the vanilla extract and milk
  • You don't wanna add any food colouring because the cakes are already filled with it.
  • Enjoy!
That's about it. It's pretty easy. That's my basic recipe for all my cupcakes. Don't think to much about care packages. Just put in whatever you think may put a smile on that person's face. 

****Appreciation blog post for ma lame ass hoe*****

I just wanna wish you a really happy birthday, man. You're always there for me (Even when I don't want you to be. but its ok.) You've taught me alot eventhough you are technically 8 months younger than I am. ha ha. Lobster you never hate you from my cats poop to yours. 


Anyway, just have fun with it. No pressure.
Enjoy!
(PS/ I get off university for  2 weeks starting the 20th of December so I'll continue blogging from then on!)
