Children love it colorful! At some baking events with children I was able to learn that MORE is sometimes MORE! More color! More cake decorations! More is more! Now – just before Carnival – my kids and I are really having a blast here! With bright colors and colorful cake decorations!
Join us and make February more colorful with us!
From Jam poppy seed muffins we made our brightly colored rainbow muffins. But of course you and your minis can also wonderfully transform any other batter into colorful rainbow muffins (the food colors really come into their own in light batter!)

Baking accessories

Little tip
If you want to use silicone baking molds, I recommend my “5 tips for baking with silicone baking molds”.
Preparation
- First, you and your kids weigh out all the ingredients for the all-in dough (except for the food coloring), put them in a large mixing bowl and mix them with the hand mixer to form a smooth dough.
- Now heat the oven to 175°C top/bottom heat.
- In the next step, distribute the dough for the rainbow muffins evenly among the small bowls and color the dough in each bowl a rainbow color (we used the following colors: yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, green and blue).
- Your kids can use a small spoon to distribute the colorful dough into the muffin cups as desired. To make the rainbow muffins colorful, you should put 1/2 - 1 spoonful of each color into the molds. We first distributed the yellow dough across all the muffin cups, then moved on to the next color and continued like this until all the colors of dough were distributed across the muffin cups.
- Next, bake the muffins on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes. You can check whether they are baked through using the chopstick test.
- When the rainbow muffins are finished baking, let them cool on the cooling rack (Attention! If you use a silicone baking mold, please let the muffins cool in the mold! For baking with silicone baking molds, I recommend my “5 tips for baking with silicone baking molds”)
- Once the colorful muffins have cooled, you can decorate them to your heart's content. To do this, melt the ruby chocolate in a water bath and pour it onto the muffins with a small spoon and decorate them with colorful treats!
