Ingredients
  

  • 1 pkg cupcake mix to make 12 cupcakes
  • 1.5 cups Buttercream frosting tinted green with food coloring
  • 1 cup miniature marshmallows
  • gold sprinkles
  • 4 Sour Power or AirHeads rainbow candy strips
  • pastry bag fitted with a grass tip Ateco #133 or Wilton #233, optional

Instructions
 

  • Bake cupcakes according to package directions. Meanwhile, prepare buttercream frosting and tint with green food coloring.
  • Spread frosting over cooled cupcakes. Optionally, pipe grass onto the top of each cupcake.
  • Cut about 1 to 1/2 inches from each rainbow strip - otherwise they will be a little too long. This also provides a great snack while you are making the cupcakes. Press each end of the rainbow into the top of the cupcake, as pictured. Gently press a few miniature marshmallows into the frosting around the ends of the rainbow, to form the clouds. Sprinkle on the gold.
