My girl Jazzy from Travel Jonez sent me this image of gorgeous rainbow cupcakes thinking that I would like to use them for an upcoming kids’ birthday party. She knows me well. I am in love and already planning a Rainbow-themed bash in my head.

As my Granny used say: "Take off your coat and stay awhile."
I'm passionate about food. I collect cookbooks, I get excited about trying new recipes, I am obsessed with cooking shows, I love dining out, and I plan to attend culinary school one day. So I guess you could call me a foodie. I'm also passionate about social media. Blogging, apps, Web 3.0, computing in the cloud, and all things related to technology policy interest me. By day, I'm an attorney specializing in laws related to consumer digital goods and services. So I guess you could call me a techie. This blog is where those two passions meet.

Love this idea! I’ve never seen this candy used as rainbows. I used them to be “beach blankets” on a beach-themed birthday cake recently, though.

Hi I am attempting to make these next weekend and I am wondering if the candy strips are hard to bend? Once they go into the frosting, do they keep their shape or do they mess up the cupcake trying to go back to a straight form? Thanks a bunch!
(or did you push the candy down into the cake?)

also interested for this coming Sat. The white looks really shiny, I like it, is it homemade? I feel like my homemade would be more stiff and matte looking. Any suggestions? And what coloring did you use for the blue??
Thank you!

for those asking about the candy: they are Airheads Xtreme Belts (sour). The clouds look almost like royal icing (that you use for making gingerbread houses).

Hi! I made these this past weekend for my daughter’s birthday. You kinda have to experiment with the size of the rainbows. I ended up cutting the strips into thirds and then used marshmallows to help them stand up better. That being said, they were precious!

To prevent the candy from flopping over, I first iced the cupcakes with the blue, then cut 2 slits in the tips of the cupcakes. I put each end into a slit, and then piped the white clouds around the candy, which also hid the cuts.

Tops, not tips. Oops!

Hello! These are fabulous cupcakes!! I have them on my Pinterest page and I am making them for my daughters birthday party next week!!! Question for you, did you let the airheads candy get staile overnight to help keep the shape or did you just tuck them into the cupcakes?
Congrats on a successful idea!
