For the cake portion, I chose a One Bowl Chocolate Cupcake recipe because 1. it's quick 2. it is easy, and 3. it fits my prerequisite for a light ending on date night.

So when it came time for our school’s bake sale a week ago, I thought Rainbow Cupcakes would be fun for a change.

This is simple to do by dividing the batter equally among six small bowls- I used yellow cake mix for deeper hues. Layer colored batter in the order of a rainbow’s colors into cupcake liners and bake according to the package directions. I wanted the frosting to go in a swirl of rainbow colors too so I used a technique Ma taught me years ago from her cake decorating classes.
