A fun twist on usual cookies, which look very vibrant and work well for kids parties. An ombre version will make this more sophisticated for a special occasion. I often like to challenge myself with baking things that are new and adventurous. I spent the weekend baking these rainbow cookies, which are a bit time consuming to make, but still lots of fun. They will team up well with my…

If I had to single out the one bake which is most loved by all, it are these cupcakes. I recall taking these to the office once, people were literally arguing about who could have the last…
