Skittles Cupcakes with Rainbow Icing

September 13, 2014 by Jenn

My kitchen counters have been covered with bags and bags of Skittles for many weeks now.  I’ve been working on an upcoming special video with a fellow YouTuber involving Skittles, but that video is not set to go up until next week.  I didn’t take the bags of Skittles off the counter after I filmed that video, as I knew I had to make more than ONE Skittles recipe!  

So while I wait to show you the original idea for a Skittles recipe, I present to you a Skittles Cupcake recipe!  For this recipe I start out with a basic vanilla cake batter and add in whole Skittles.  You could also chop the Skittles up into smaller pieces, and that would work for this recipe too, basically it just depends on how much chewiness you want to add to your cupcake.  The Skittles flavour is subtle, but you can definitely “taste the rainbow”!  Ha, ha, ha . . . I’ve been waiting to use that line. 

The rainbow icing is a beautiful way to decorate any flavour of cupcake.  I thought the bright, vibrancy of the buttercream would pair perfectly with Skittles, because, as I mentioned already, the Skittles slogan is “Taste the Rainbow.”  Striping the bag is the easiest way to achieve this effect.  It is simple, and produces a beautiful, rainbow topping.  Adding a couple of Skittles to the top for decoration, completes the Skittles theme of the cupcakes.
