    While driving to dinner the other night, my friend Bri and I saw a double rainbow ahead of us. It was so exciting! I can't even remember the last time I saw a COMPLETE rainbow, let alone a double rainbow at the exact same time! It was pretty crazy, and we took it to mean that good luck was definitely coming our way. Of course, after seeing that double rainbow, I wanted to share this adorable little Rainbow Cupcakes Recipe with you guys!

    Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the white frosting and mix well. Generously frost each cupcake and set aside.

    Open the Wilton Rainbow kit and carefully bend the rainbow candy one at a time and place on top of the cupcake, gently pressing down.

    Next, take 2 cloud candies for each cupcake and place them next to the rainbow on either side. You might need a little bit of extra frosting
    to make them stick.

    Open the M&M's and make a rainbow on top of each cupcake - red, orange, yellow, green and blue. Use a pair of kitchen scissors to gently cut the ends of each mini marshmallow and place them on the cupcake as the base of the rainbow.
