Zebra Cupcakes

Baby Shower Cupcakes

Baby Shower Layering

I did 4 dozen cupcakes for a baby shower yesterday. There were the dozen chocolate, a dozen white that were tinted pink, and then there were 2 dozen that were white and chocolate that were a zebra design inside. I made exactly enough so I couldn't see how the inside turned out! I had a lot of extra bright hot pink icing left over so I decided to make another batch of white (dyed half of it pink) and try the zebra stripes out again. This time I'd be able to see how they look inside.


I made the cake batter with no changes. I divided it in half and dyed one bowl a light pink.

Dyed Batter

To put them in the cupcake liners I used a tablespoon to put alternating layers. 4 layers all together; 2 of each!

Alternating Layers

That's all I did and put them in the oven.

Out Of The Oven

My finished cupcake:

Now that I've done it I know what I would do different as well.

• For starters I would use a little extra water in the batter to make it thinner so it spreads instead of layering on top of each other
• To put it in the liners I would of put each batter in a separate pastry bag and piped it in instead.
