rainbow madeleines for a virtual baby shower...!


....so i'm so excited about this post, one because it's rainbow and madeleines combined (2 of my favs!), but more importantly this is part of a fun virtual baby shower for Meaghan from The Decorated Cookie!!!...by this time she probably has her brand new baby girl in her arms and is enjoying that magical newborn time again!....and in addition to her awesomely awesome blog where she shares her own yummy creations (like the infamous melting snowman cookies that she invented and is now uber famous) she also is an editor over at Edible Crafts - where she shares all the cool fun foods and sweets that all of you come up with on a daily basis...

so a bunch of us decided on a "rainbow" themed shower, well because meaghan and her daughter love rainbows (they did this cool rainbow birthday party)...and well, who doesn't like rainbows, they just make you smile, right??!


...my sister got me a madeleine pan a couple years ago and ever since i've had this weird obession with making them over and over again like here for 4th of july, here for valentines day, here for last holiday season, and here for halloween...for these rainbow madeleines i used the same madeleine recipe i have for all of them because its super simple, but added 1 teaspoon of lemon extract as well...

then divided batter into 5 zip lock bags and add the colors you want your rainbow to be, mix each well until the color is all through....


snip one end of the zip lock bag (a small snip) and pipe lines of color - horizontal or vertical, whatever you prefer!


you can even do some solid colors if you don't want to go to the trouble of piping rainbows...


and you get some really fun rainbow madeleines to celebrate a brand new baby as well as a great person and friend!


Super Congrats MEAGHAN!!!!! i am so very excited for you and hope you and baby Violet are doing great!

  1. This rainbow madeleines are fantastic, I love how it makes such a great presentation, but is still pretty doable for the average baker (like me!).

    2. Hello there!
      What madeleine recipe did you use to get the batter so stiff? The link is broken. Also, what kind of food colorings did you use to dye the madeleines? Thanks in advance!

    3. Hi Clarissa, you can use this recipe. https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/vanilla-scented-madeleines-recipe Bake them at 350 for only 7-8 mins or until just done. I usually use Wilton brand food colorings. Hope that helps!

  2. I was really looking forward to this post, I've made these cookies few times, and maybe it is just the pan I'm using or something else, but they never come out so pretty like yours. I love how you did the rainbow ones, they are really one of a kind! Michelle, thank so much for organizing this beautiful collaboration and for inviting me to come along.
