Rainbow Cupcakes

As kids, we always sought to find a treasure at the end of a rainbow. In this tutorial, you will find a delicious and colorful cupcake at the end of the rainbow.

You will need the following materials:

Boxed White Cake Mix (since each brand is different, refer to the box for additional ingredients)

Small Marshmallows

Heavy Whipping Cream

Confectioner's Sugar

Food Coloring

Vanilla Extract

Air Heads - Rainbow Sour Strips

Electric Mixer

Mixing Bowl

Rubber Spatula

Ziplock Bag

Scissors

Knife

Prepare the cake mix as directed on the box.

Separate the cake mix into six different containers.

Add as much food coloring as your desired color.

Place cupcake liners on the cupcake pan.

Place a teaspoon of each individual colored cake mix into each cupcake liner.

Bake as directed on the cake mix box.

Remove the cupcake pan from the oven and allow cupcakes to cool down completely.

Mix 1 cup of whipping cream, 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar, and approximately one teaspoon of vanilla extract (flavor the frosting to your desired taste).

Add blue food coloring to resemble a sky blue color. Using an electric mixer, mix at a medium high speed. Add additional food coloring if you wish your frosting to be a little darker.

Using a rubber spatula, place the the prepared frosting inside a ziploc bag. Seal the bag and cut a corner off with scissors. Start by piping frosting around the outside edge of the top of the cupcake and move the Ziploc bag in a spiral motion inward until ending in the very middle of the cupcake.

Using a knife, cut the sour strip candy in half and place a piece on the already frosted cupcake.

Cut the small marshmallows in half and place them at each end of the rainbow.

These cupcakes will be a great treat with the kids.
