Method:
1. Begin by separating your buttercream into two bowls. – 3/4 in one and the remaining 1/4 in another.
2. Add a few drops of blue food colouring to the biggest bowl of buttercream. This is to get the blue colour for the sky.
3. Put your nozzle into the snipped piping bag and spoon in the blue buttercream.
4. Pipe a simple swirl on to each cupcake. Try to keep the swirls slightly flat, that was you can ensure there will be enough room for the rainbow!
5. Next, take your small bowl of white buttercream and place some in a piping bag. Now, make little dollops on the sides to look like clouds.
6. Cut the fizzy rainbows into two pieces per strip and gently place one end of the fizzy belt into each cloud.
7. Finally, place the cupcakes in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to ensure the buttercream has set.
