Rainbow Connection

Baked some cupcakes last night for someone's birthday in the office today. Opted for a classic combo: chocolate cake base topped with a rich vanilla buttercream. Nothing beats the marriage of chocolate and vanilla.

Also got a chance to finally open up my bottle of "confetti" sparkling sugar that I bought at Degrees before Christmas. Aren't they beautiful, all those colours sparkling against the creamy white of the buttercream? Yes, yes...it was an impulse purchase, but I couldn't resist since they were so pretty sitting in their jar. Also used some leftover milk chocolate melts dipped in rainbow sprinkles that I found lying around to top the cupcakes.

They look so festive, don't they?
