So this year, I gave it a try and bake it once again. This time, I used white eggshells. After I emptied the shells and cleaned them with hot water, I let it dry for a day on the kitchen towel. Then I coloured the shells by using a mix of food colouring and white vinegar. Apparently the vinegar helped the colour to stay nicely on the eggshells. Then learned from the previous mistake, I greased the inner part of the eggshells with vegetable oil, then pour the cupcake batter just till it reached half of the shells. And the result, viola!\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4256-WM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-706 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_4256 WM\" src=\"https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4256-WM-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4256-WM-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4256-WM-432x432.jpg 432w, https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4256-WM-268x268.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Not bad right?? As you can see, I also coloured the batter, the idea is to have a tie dye cupcakes.. but the colours didn&#8217;t mixed properly, although it still look a bit tie dye \ud83d\ude42 Check this picture with the close-up on the cupcake<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4259-WM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-707 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_4259 WM\" src=\"https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4259-WM-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4259-WM-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4259-WM-432x432.jpg 432w, https:\/\/twinklecakes.nl\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_4259-WM-268x268.jpg 268w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am quite happy with the results!
