Rainbow Swirl Cupcakes with Gifbera Silver Foil Cupcake Liners

• Cupcakes, you can use any of your favorite recipes.
• Buttercream frosting. Just make sure the consistency is thick enough to hold its shape.
• Food coloring! It is suggested less than five colors (hence, why purple got the shaft) or the bag gets too crowded. Here, Super Red, Orange, Egg Yellow, Leaf Green, and Sky Blue are used.
• One 16-inch disposable decorating bag. It holds a lot more frosting than the 12-inch size I use for cookie decorating, and I don’t need to be as precise when decorating cupcakes, so the bulkier frosting works just fine.
• Size 1M decorating tip. This will go on the large decorating bag. It’s what gives you the texture in the frosting swirl.
• Plastic wrap. You will pipe all the frosting colors onto plastic wrap that will then go in the big decorating bag.
• Five 12-inch decorating bags. These smaller size decorating bags will enable you to pipe each of the frosting colors onto the decorating bag. If you like, you can also use Ziploc bags and just snip the tips.
• Scissors. For cutting stuff.

Prepare your buttercream frosting according to the recipe. Divide into five portions (or however many colors you are using) and tint each portion your preferred colors. Scoop each color into a 12-inch disposable decorating bag (you may use a ziploc bag, too) and snip about 1 to 1 1/2-inches from the tips.

Place a rectangle of plastic wrap on the counter (about 12-inches by 10-inches). Pipe the red frosting in a line on the plastic wrap. Pipe back and forth three or four times to make a bar of frosting about 8-inches long. Repeat with the orange frosting just under the red. Repeat with the remaining colors. Carefully roll up the frosting to make a log. Snip the plastic wrap at the frosting end that will be going in the decorating bag first, right up to the frosting’s end.

Place the 1M decorating tip inside of the 16-inch decorating bag and snip the tip so the bag sits just past the opening of the tip. Insert the rolled frosting, cut end first, into the bag and twist the top of the bag closed.

Before you start on the cupcakes, pipe some of the frosting out of the bag on a napkin until you see the colors blended. Then, pipe a swirl on each cupcake.

Making rainbow swirl cupcakes is easier than you’d think, given the beautiful final result!

Great for rainbow or unicorn party, to brighten someone’s day, to brighten your day, colorful birthday parties… Wednesdays? There’s always a reason for rainbows.
