Equipment

  • piping bag with a star tip or grass tip

Materials

  • 24 cupcakes premade and cooled
  • 16 oz. green frosting
  • 34 mini Reese's cups - can substitute Rolos
  • 2 oz. chocolate frosting
  • 2 oz. gold sprinkles
  • 24 airhead bites rainbow candies

Instructions

  • allow your cupcakes to completely cool
  • add green frosting to your bag that already has a star or grass tip in place
  • frost the cupcakes by squeezing out the frosting going in an up and down pattern - squeeze onto the cake - pull bag straight up, squeeze down, pull straight up, etc...
  • spread some chocolate frosting on the top of a mini Reese's
  • place the candy on the cupcake and shake gold sprinkles onto the chocolate frosting - some will spill over  and that's great
  • add the rainbow at an angle so it looks like it is pointing toward the sky
