Rainbow Cakes!

As I mentioned yesterday this month we are learning about colours and shapes, so today as it's horrid outside we decided to add some colour to our baking.  I had a wee search and followed this recipe http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/9968/rainbow-fairy-cakes.aspx

The girls had great fun helping me measure out the ingredients and of course helping stir the mixture

Then it was time to split the mixture into bowls so we could add the food colouring, we only had red, green and yellow so decided we'd have traffic light cakes!

Lots more stirring was needed to make sure the colours were nice and bright and then it was time to pop them in the oven, the girls were very excited helping put spoonfuls of each colour in every cake case.  Before too long the cakes were ready to come out the oven, creating more excitement for the finished product!  which tasted very yummy indeed :)
