RAINBOWS

BUTTERCREAM

These fun frosting rainbow toppers are surprisingly easy to make, and they look SO fun on top of cakes and cupcakes!

Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and smooth it out.

1

Start piping lines of colored frosting across the plastic wrap--but leave a margin on the edge of the plastic.

2

Keep piping lines of colors next to each other until you've used every color twice.

3

Roll up the plastic wrap into a cylinder, hold the edges, and twist it tightly closed. Snip off one end of the plastic wrap.

4

 Fit a piping bag with a large round tip. Place the rainbow frosting into the bag.

5

Dab some buttercream on a flower nail, and press a parchment square on top.

6

Curl your hand around so the piping bag is pointing towards you, and squeeze the bag while you spin the flower nail to create a rainbow shape.

7

ALL of the movement comes from the flower nail -- the piping bag stays in one place. Repeat to make more rainbows!

8

Transfer the rainbows on parchment squares to a baking sheet, and freeze until firm, at least 20-30 minutes.

9

Carefully remove the frozen rainbow from the parchment backing. 

10

Put the buttercream rainbows on top of cupcakes...

...or cakes, or anything else you can dream up!
