Instructions

Frost cupcakes with desired icing.

Place a Reese's cup on the right side of the cupcake.

Pipe a small amount of buttercream onto the Reese's cup.

Dip it into the sprinkles (this is less messy than dumping sprinkles) and place back on the cupcake.

Cut the airheads in half and place them on the cupcakes so it looks like the Reese's Cup is at the end of the rainbow.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Stabilize Frosting for Rainbow Layers 🎨
Chill your frosting for 15-20 minutes before piping to prevent colors from bleeding together when stacking rainbow layers on top of cupcakes.
Mini Reese Cups as Pot of Gold 🏆
Slightly warm the Mini Reese Cups under a lamp before placing them on frosting so they adhere perfectly and create an authentic 'pot of gold' anchor point for your rainbow design.
Sour Belt Candy Placement Strategy 🌈
Arrange Airhead Xtremes Belts in a gentle arc pattern before the frosting fully sets, working from one side of the cupcake to create a natural rainbow curve that frames the gold center.
Sprinkle Application Timing ✨
Apply sprinkles immediately after frosting while it's still tacky, then gently press them down with a spatula to ensure they stay in place and don't roll off during transport or display.
Box Mix Enhancement Secret 🧁
Replace the water in your box cake mix with buttermilk and add an extra egg for superior moisture and texture that will better support the weight of decorative toppings.
