It’s my daughter’s 7th birthday and the usual cupcakes for school so instead of the usual icing and sprinkles, I decided on creating Rainbow Fish Cupcakes. It’s dead easy and a fun way to decorate cupcakes for all ages.

What you’ll need

•  Cupcakes (Note: I don’t use cupcake papers for school – it’s one less thing they have to worry about and I also use the mini muffin pan)
• Quantity of icing/frosting
• Smarties or M&M’s
• Xtreme Sour Straps (cut into triangle pieces)
• Black icing writing pen
   
  Method:

1. Ice cupcakes.
2. Arrange Smarties/M&M’s on one half of the cupcake, vertically.
3. Place piece of sour strap on back of cupcake for fish tail.
4. Using icing writing pen, mark spot for an eye.

These cupcakes would make a great addition for an underwater themed party. For a different effect, match coloured icing with colour of Smartie/M&M, ie all pink, green, yellow etc.
