This year our troop bridged some Brownie scouts to Junior scouts.
These were very simple to make and takes wonderful!
Materials:
Yellow cake mix (and ingredients)
Rainbow cupcake papers
1 can pre-made vanilla frosting
Rainbow Airheads
Miniature marshmallows
Start off by baking the cupcakes according to the directions on the box.
Let cool completely. Don't try to frost them while they are warm or you will have a mess!
Split the can of frosting in half. Mix Hershey's baker's cocoa powder into one half to make brown frosting. Add a small amount of powdered sugar and green food coloring to the other half to make the green frosting. NOTE; add small amounts of powdered sugar to the frosting to make it a bit firmer. Do it in very small amounts so you don't make the frosting crumbly. Having that extra sugar in the frosting will help it hold the shape better after piping.
Prepare the candy. Cut the marshmallows in half and the airhead rainbows in half.
Pipe both colors using a #21 Wilton star tip. While the frosting is still wet gently bend the rainbow airhead and stick it down into the frosting. Place marshmallows on either side to look like clouds.
Enjoy!!
