Step 2. Whilst the cupcakes are cooling to room temperature, prepare some buttercream icing / frosting without color.
Step 3. Divide the icing evenly into separate bowls – you’ll need a bowl for each color of the rainbow. Add food coloring to each bowl – a different color in each. You could use gel food coloring or food coloring drops.
Step 4. Arrange the cupcakes on a cake board or large cutting board into the shape of a rainbow.
Step 5. Ice the cakes in rows to make it look like a rainbow.
You could also add some marshmallows to one or both ends as a cloud.
