My favorite holiday recipe is rainbow cupcakes. I like them because on my seventh birthday my mom made me rainbow cupcakes. We ate the cupcakes and I didn’t even know but my teeth turned the color of the cupcakes! After the party was over we went home. The party was so fun I started to smile. My smile got bigger and bigger and then before you knew it you could see my teeth. When my mom walked in she jumped and told me my teeth were rainbow! So now on every birthday I ask for rainbow cupcakes.
