It's my birthday soon!

I will officially be 16 on Saturday. I usually try to tone down my birthdays. I often forget about them, until a friend goes, "Hey, isn't it your birthday today...?"

But there's a reason I'm having two parties, one for family friends and one for school friends. I GET TO BAKE TWO CAKES. That's right. And multitudes of cupcakes. And cookies. And...mmmm. I gave out invitations already.

As you might have guessed, they're cupcake-related.

Spread the rainbow

I love rainbows.

No, really. However much I wear black and kid myself I'm really cool, I'm a total sucker for anything brightly coloured. Extra points if it's sweet. Which is why these are the first cupcakes I made from scratch, frosted and photographed.

I think this cemented my love affair with cupcakes. How can you not love this cupcake? It's simple too. Take a standard white cake recipe, or any light-coloured recipe and add colour.
