home made funfetti!

as much as i love an amazing gourmet cupcake,

there is just something about the classic taste and nostalgia that

only a funfetti cupcake can bring.

i've been loyal to funfetti for years.

but it was finally time for me to try my very own home made funfetti!

inspiration and recipe borrowed from this amazing blog.

1 cup milk, room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla

6 egg whites

2 cups flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 3/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 sticks butter, room temperature

1 bag white chocolate chips

food coloring

rainbow chip directions

1. divide your white chocolate chips into 4 microwave safe bowls.

heat in the microwave for 20 second intervals until melted. stir well.

2. add 4-5 drops food coloring into each bowl, stir quickly to prevent clumping

3. quickly spread on to a sheet of parchment paper,

and smooth out until it's about 1/4" thick

4. leave this out to cool while you work on the rest of your recipe

5. once the chocolate has set, chop into little pieces. set aside.
