Rainbow Macaron Cupcakes – A Colorful Birthday Surprise

Rainbow Macaron Cupcakes

There are baking projects that fill your kitchen with delicious aromas—and then there are the ones that fill your heart, too.

This week, I had the absolute joy of making something special for a friend’s child’s birthday: rainbow macaron cupcakes! While I don’t usually make cupcakes as part of Seaside Magnolia’s offerings, this was a heartfelt exception. I couldn’t resist the chance to create something so magical, colorful, and full of personality.

Here’s what went into them:

Each cupcake started with a soft, vanilla base, baked in vibrant rainbow liners. I topped them with a swirl of Swiss meringue buttercream, tinted in all the rainbow shades and piped using a 1M tip to get that classic, dreamy swirl. But the real fun started with the toppings.

Each cupcake was crowned with a macaron in either orange guava or lemon, nestled on top like a jewel. Then I added rainbow sprinkles, edible butterflies, edible glitter, and a touch of edible gold—because more is more when it comes to birthday magic!

It was such a joy watching this vision come to life. The colors, the sparkle, the detail—it all came together in the most whimsical way. Even though these aren’t available for order (just a fun, one-time project), it was a beautiful reminder of why I love creating edible art. It’s not just about the dessert, it’s about making moments a little more magical.

Thanks for being part of this sweet journey with me. Whether I’m baking, making jewelry, or dreaming up the next creative adventure, Seaside Magnolia is my place for celebrating life’s little joys—and sharing them with you.

Until next time,
