Rainbow muffins!

It's midsummer's day tomorrow and we have been invited to sis in law, Jessica's place for a little midsummer party cum nephew's 3rd birthday.

And as it is a potluck party, I have been given the task of bringing something good and sweet (what else right? Not like I can bring nasi lemak with sambal. hehehheh). Me being me, I'm of cos not going to bring just one thing, I need variety! So I'll bring my chocolate mini melts as well plus for a little asian touch and as per request of sis in law, I'm bringing a malay snack called layang-layang which translated means kite. It's not the authentic layang-layang that requires making the dough, rolling it out and shaping it. No, I'm going the super shortcut way of using popiah skin, rolling it into love letters, cutting those up and deep frying them after which I dust powdered sugar on. Sounds strange but it's oh so good!

So apart from those, I've also decided to bake some mini muffins and after getting some inspiration from another baking blog, I give you my rainbow mini muffins!

They are quite small, about half the size of normal muffins for the cute factor and so that it would be finger food size.

I love that it is so colourful which gives a very summery feel and also appropriate for a small kid's party. Even the inside is colourful which baffles the husband (da man dunno anything abt baking lah) cos he thought I had painted the muffin surface. I think it gives a nice lively surprise when u bite into it.

How to resist a muffin pile like that right? Mmmm....

This was the first time I tried making the muffins this way so next time I will try to make the green darker and am thinking of adding in a blue layer since I just got blue food colouring last night. These muffins are just plain vanilla muffins cos the main focus of this muffin should be the happy colours but I think next time I will add more vanilla extract for a fiercer flavour.

Will take pictures of the potluck food table tomorrow to show. Hope it's good and not just strange swedish food. Well, at least I will have my muffins to fall back on. heh heh...
