Ingredients

– Vanilla cupcakes – Blue gel food coloring – Butter – Confectioners’ sugar – Milk – Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple fondant

Add blue food coloring into the batter and stir until the color is consistent throughout. Bake your cupcakes per the directions in the recipe. Let cool completely before decorating.

Make the rainbows using fondant. Roll out a thin snake about 5 inches long and ½ inch thick from each color. Lay each snake on a piece of parchment paper, in rainbow order.

Make your buttercream frosting. Frost each cupcake by pressing small dollops all over the top to make the frosting look like fluffy little clouds. Top with half of a trimmed rainbow.
