 Rainbow Sherbet Cupcakes with sherbet baked right into the batter and a rainbow swirled frosting on top! Your favorite summer childhood treat in cupcake form!

Rainbow Sherbet Cupcakes

 

I’ve always believed that good food is meant to be shared.

Case in point: In elementary school towards the end of the year we’d get  free popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, and cups of rainbow sherbet. This was back in the stone age when sugar was still allowed in school. We also didn’t have air conditioning. THE HORROR! It’s a miracle I’m sitting here today.

I always tried to tote these home in my lunchbox to share with my Grandma and Grandpa.

I didn’t think the yummy treat should be enjoyed by myself, I wanted to share the taste with them too! Of course the only thing I ended up bringing home was a melted mess! 🙂

I also believe good desserts like these cupcakes deserved to be shared! (& if I don’t get them out of my house soon, I’ll eat them all!!).
