I made rainbow cupcake with my own cake recipe, had 7 different colours and slightly mixed them together when they were all in the cupcake tine (like marble cake). I think my 4 year old had 3 out of the 12 made, and my partner ate the rest within a couple of days. I'm sure he enjoyed them more than my son!
