These cupcakes might look complicated, but they're not! For real. Let me break it down for you. I saw them online &changed the clouds & Pot o' Gold to look how I thought it should look- like clouds out of a storybook and a legit pot o' gold!

Ingredients:
1 Canister Vanilla Frosting
1 Box of Cake Mix (any flavor)
Gold Nonpareils
Cupcake Liners
Food Coloring (Blue or Green)
Frosting Piping Set
Package of Rainbow Airheads
2 Rolls of Rolos
Make the cupcakes according to the instructions on the box. I used white cake mix and added some rainbow sprinkles for a double-dose of rainbow.

While the cupcakes cool, add a few drops of green or blue food coloring to a third of the frosting. You could also just leave it white for a cloud in full effect. Frost the cupcakes. 

Now you're gonna make the pot of gold. Grab those Rolos and a butter knife and spread a thin layer of frosting onto the larger end of the Rolo. I used black food coloring to dye the frosting, but it's totally unnecessary, white works great, or you can use chocolate if you have some. Dip the frosted Rolos into the gold nonpareils. Now you have what you've always wanted--- a pot o' gold.  Cha Ching. 
Place the Pot of Gold onto the cupcake. ​Put the white frosting into the piping tool and, using the star tip, create swirly clouds by making 2-3 loops on the other end of the cupcake. 
Here's the fun part:--- making rainbows! Get out those Airheads and cut them in half, I used kitchen shears, but you can prob use a knife. Place a rainbow behind the pot of gold, then position the other end into those puffy clouds you created.
