Bake cupcakes & let them cool completely.

Mix a cup of frosting with green food coloring for grass. Fill a piping bag with Wilton #233 tip and green frosting.
Fill a piping bag with Wilton #12 tip and white frosting for clouds. You won't need much of this.
Add blue frosting to half of the cupcake.
Add green frosting to the other half of the cupcake.
Add a line of clouds with white frosting across the green and blue sections. One line of clouds on each side of the cupcake.
Cut a little bit off the end of the rainbow stripe candy. Your rainbow will sag if the candy strip is too long. Anchor each end in the clouds.

Dip rolo in gold sprinkles. Place your pot of gold under the rainbow.
