3 Things to Keep in Mind When Making Pride Cupcakes
- Use Gel Food Coloring for Vibrancy – Gel colors give you those bold, rich shades without thinning your frosting.
- Label Your Flavors Clearly – If you’re making a mixed batch, adding little signs or color-coded liners helps people find their fave.
- Make It Inclusive – Include flags and candies that represent different parts of the LGBTQ+ community (not just the rainbow) so everyone feels seen.
Final Thoughts
Pride cupcakes aren’t just about the flavors—they’re about celebrating love, identity, and community in the most colorful way possible. Whether you’re baking for friends, family, your classroom, or just for yourself, these cupcakes are a sweet reminder that everyone deserves to feel seen, included, and celebrated. Mix, match, decorate, and don’t be afraid to get creative—because when it comes to Pride, there’s no such thing as too much color.
