Something you may not know about me is that I’m the cubmaster for the scouting group through my church.
We had our blue and gold banquet last week, and so to celebrate the occasion I made these super yummy cupcakes.
I thought about dying the actual cake gold or blue, but if I’m being completely honest with you, different colored cakes totally freak me out.
I think that’s why I have such a hard time with red velvet. I know that it’s supposed to taste like chocolate, but I swear to you, all I can taste is chemicals from the food coloring. I swear it.
I know it’s totally all in my head, but I really just can’t get past it.
Now at the grocery store I’m seeing blue velvet and purple velvet and orange and all of this craziness. It’s anarchy.
So there went that idea, and I decided nothing makes a better backdrop than classic white.
These were DELICIOUS, and the frosting looks totally cool if I may say so myself.

I topped these with my classic cream cheese frosting recipe dyed with wilton royal blue icing coloring with some violet splashed in to make it darker.
Is there any better way to celebrate?
