Ingredients

2 bags M&M'S(R) Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter
1 18.25-oz. box your favorite cake mix
1 16-oz. can vanilla frosting
1 bag large marshmallows
2 12-cup cupcake pans
24 paper cupcake liners
Resealable plastic bags
1 24 x 18-inch piece sturdy cardboard or serving tray

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the cupcake pans with the paper cupcake liners.
2

Prepare and bake the cake mix according to the package instructions. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.
3

Arrange 2 rows of cupcakes into an arched rainbow shape on the cardboard or tray. Spoon the can of vanilla frosting into a resealable plastic bag. Snip a small corner from the bag and twist the top. Pipe frosting on top of each cupcake. Spread the frosting -- smoothing it between the cupcakes -- to look like one big cake.
4

Arrange similar-color M&M'S(R) Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter into five curved lines stretching from one end of the rainbow to the other.
5

Cut several marshmallows in half. Arrange the halves in groups of three around the bottom and top edges of the rainbow for clouds!
