EASY RAINBOW CUPCAKES
So this week marks my baby girl’s 4th birthday. Somehow I managed to escape yet another Princess party (2 little divas = about 8 birthdays with variations on Princess themes = please, please no more Princess parties) and we are doing a Cowgirl party this year. (Yeah!)
There was quite a bit of back and forth on whether Cowgirl was going to be the theme or a rainbow party. Fortunately Cowgirl won out because I have been having a lot of fun with planning this party.
As a compromise I decided to surprise my little girl with Rainbow cupcakes for her class party. That way she gets a little of both for her birthday.
I am not a professional baker by any means but I found these cupcakes really easy to put together and they are so cute in person!
They are bright and cheerful and are perfect for a birthday!
The first thing is you need to track down this Airheads Xtremes Rainbow candy.
This can be found in the candy section of most stores- I have found them at Joann’s Crafts and at Target in the Dollar Spot.
I used a funfetti cupcake mix for the cupcakes and baked them in plain white liners.
Next I whipped up this buttercream frosting recipe.
Once the buttercream was made, I set aside about 1/4 of the frosting in a small bowl. To my mixer, I added a few drops of food coloring to get the blue color for the sky.
Next I simply frosted the cupcakes with the blue frosting. I used a piping bag and cut the tip about an inch up and swirled it on. I tried to keep the swirls somewhat flat so there would be room for the rainbow.
After the blue swirls were piped on top, I made little dallops on the sides to look like clouds with the white frosting. I just placed the white frosting in a Ziploc bag and trimmed the end off to create a piping bag.
