Taste The Rainbow Cupcake
Nothing is so fun as the multi-colored creations like these rainbow cupcakes. Setting the Skittles in the frosting softens them up and makes them the perfect bite.
Ingredients
- A Cake Mix and everything to make the cake
- Everything for the Frosting Recipe Below
- Skittles I buy the HUGE bags so I don’t run out
Almond Icing:
- 1/2 Cup of white vegetable shortening
- 4 C. Powdered Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons Water or Milk
- 1 teaspoon pure Almond extract
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to your mixer and mix until a even consistency.
- For these cupcakes I baked the cake according box directions.
- I frosted them simply without any special tips because I needed a mostly flat surface to work with.
- I found if I laid the Skittles flat on the cupcakes, I could get three rows to fit or if I stacked them on their sides I could fit four rows comfortably.
