Riley and I have been super busy with creating cute treats for her friends at daycare. After seeing a ton of rainbow treats on pinterest I decided to make lucky charm rainbow cupcakes. The cupcakes are frosted with buttercream frosting and topped with lucky charms.
Lucky Charm Treats
Riley and I have been super busy with creating cute treats for her friends at daycare. After seeing a ton of rainbow treats on pinterest I decided to make lucky charm rainbow cupcakes. The cupcakes are frosted with buttercream frosting and topped with lucky charms.
Lucky Charm Treats
The inside of the cupcakes was easy and fun to make. I used yellow cake mix and divided the batter into six different bowls and then used gel food coloring to "magically" change the color of the batter.
In order to create the rainbow on the inside, I started with placing a tablespoon of purple into a cupcake liner and then worked backwards through the colors of the rainbow {blue, green, yellow, orange, red}. Hello, rainbow! These were so much fun for Riley and I to make because "mama made magic" every time I made a new color. I love the color on the inside and so does monster.

Ingredients
- 1 cup vegetable shortening
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder
- 1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract almond is better
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 2-3 cups of confectioners sugar
Instructions
- Using a hand or standing mixture beat the vegetable shortening, with meringue powder, almond extract and water.
- Add in the confectioners sugar one cup at a time, {unless you want your kitchen to look like it snowed in it.}
- I usually use 2.5 cups of sugar, but it all based on how sugary you want your frosting to be.
These are Riley treat bags filled with Lucky Charms cereal and ask "Won't you be my Lucky Charm?"

Riley is also bringing a mug for Ms. Marie, which you can read about here and a treat bag full of shamrock pretzels.
