How to make swirled frosting
► Posted under guest posts, party food, rainbow, tutorials & resources by Heather
Here’s a fun way to trick out your cupcakes in colors to match your party theme: swirled frosting! The crafty duo Chica and Jo developed an easy technique to make multicolored icing – it’s perfect for a rainbow party, or you could use fewer colors to suit a simpler color palette. Pretty snazzy, and it still leaves room for cupcake toppers and other fun decorations, too!
Here’s all you need: white decorator’s icing (here’s Chica and Jo’s decorator’s icing recipe), a disposable icing bag, a decorating tip and coupler, a drinking glass, a small paint brush, and paste food coloring.
The technique is super-simple but I promised Chica and Jo I wouldn’t give away all their secrets. ; ) Click on over to Chica and Jo for the full tutorial on how to make rainbow swirl frosting!

Love this idea! I recently did a rainbow cake for my daughter's Art Party. This would have been perfect. I will have to try it out soon.
