Concealed Currency Cakes

These Hidden Gold Rainbow Cupcakes are a Sweet and Surprising Treat

Blogger Kristan, from the awe-inspiring baking blog 'Confessions of a Cookbook Queen,' crafted these lucky Hidden Gold Rainbow Cupcakes in honor of St. Patrick's Day. These vibrant and delicious petite cakes come with a big sweet surprise: a center of golden candy. By far the most delicious currency you'll ever come across, this inner cluster of shimmering Sixlets takes these confections from ordinary to extraordinary.

These sweets started life as nothing more than a simple batch of vanilla cupcakes. Kristan took them from boring to stunning with the careful application of rainbow-streaked vanilla buttercream, a gold candy center and a fetching pot of gold topper. Their out-of-this-world presentation makes these Hidden Gold Rainbow Cupcakes the perfect accompaniment to any St. Patty's Day shindig.

Fun, vibrant and delicious, these wealthy technicolor stunners are the luckiest cupcakes around.
