Why this batch works

35 minutes, start to swirl

One bowl for the batter, one for the buttercream. No mixer gymnastics.

Natural pastel colours

Matcha green, blueberry purple and beetroot pink — no neon aftertaste.

Bakery-tall tops

Our 425°F-then-drop trick gives you domed cupcakes every single time.

Cupcake batter, piping bags and a muffin tin on a mint counter

One base, three colours

Mix a single bowl of vanilla batter, split the buttercream in three, and colour each one naturally. That is the whole trick.

The kids picked the colours, I did the piping. Easiest birthday I have ever pulled off.

I scaled the recipe to 60 and it held perfectly. The mint green ones sell out first.
