RHHS Lady Terriers!! (School Spirit Debut!!)

My "School Spirit" line has made its debut! The cake is made to match any team's primary color, and the frosting is made to match the secondary color. Or whichever way you want of course! The test run resulted in the Rocky Hill Terriers Colors: Royal Blue Cake, White frosting, and a Red ribbon to accent their 3rd color which outlines the lettering on the jersey. I also tried something new this time... I peeled the wrapper from the cupcake and put the cake directly into the cup. This created a super easy, virtually mess free way to eat a cupcake FROM A CUP! And the best part about it, they were almost all gone at the end of the event!! Good luck this season girls!!

I had to use an ENTIRE container of Wilton Color gel (Royal blue) in order to achieve the exact color-- that's TWO TABLESPOONS!! YIKES! I find that when the cake is dyed, it doesn't effect the taste the way it does when the frosting is altered. There mouths and teeth were blue, but not even close to as bad as if the frosting had that much!

This was a basic white (no egg yolks) cake, with the food coloring, & a basic white vanilla buttercream. The cake has a small amount of discoloration due to the cupcake liner. I will be conducting a test run without the liners by spraying a non-stick solution into the pan.
