Rainbow Cupcakes

I made cupcakes for a fundraiser bake sale a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to make something cute to increase the likelihood that my donation would all be sold!  However, I didn't want to do something really time consuming.  Enter Rainbow Cupcakes:

These are extremely easy to make and when I checked halfway through the bake sale, they were all gone!  Their construction is simple: ice the cupcake sky blue, pipe on two white "clouds" and bend over a section of rainbow candy to make the rainbow.  I used Airhead Xtremes Rainbow Sour Strips.  One package is enough to make 24 cupcakes - if you cut the strips in 3 pieces.  They cost about $1.50, I got them at Walgreens.

A sea of rainbows!

The cupcakes were actually also blue - I found a blue raspberry flavored box mix in the Publix discount bin for 75 cents.
