Rainbow Cupcakes

Misses recently turned 5! This year for her birthday, she wanted rainbow cupcakes. I groaned just a little at this. I do not care for making cupcakes. Since that is what she wanted, we looked on the Internet for some inspiration. In no time, we found a picture of cupcakes with sky blue frosting and candy rainbows on top.

After finding what we were going to do. I gathered the supplies.

What you need:
1. Box of cake mix (I use whatever I have on hand.)
2. Ingredients for frosting     (see: Thomas Cake for recipe)
3. Cup cake papers
4. Sour rainbow Airheads (I found them at Walmart.)

What to do:
1. Make the cup cakes according to the box instructions.
2. Make the frosting.
3. Frost the cupcakes with the blue frosting.
4. Cut the Airheads to the length you want for the rainbows.
5. Pipe 2 white frosting lines on top the blue and push the Airheads into them.
6. Pipe the white frosting around the Airheads to hold them in place and look pretty.

 

Here they are all finished. They are easy to make and very cute.
