Ingredients
For the Frosting
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
For the Board
- Red strawberries
- Orange slices
- Yellow pineapple, sliced
- Green grapes
- Blueberries
- Red Grapes
- Jelly Beans
- Peanut M&M's
- Mini cinnamon rolls
- Angel Food cake or Pound cake
- Brownie Bites
- Mini Frosted Donuts
Instructions
- To make the frosting, beat butter with powdered sugar and vanilla extract for 4-5 minutes, until fluffy.
- Use a large board (we used a cutting board that was 12-18- inches rectangular). Place frosting in ziploc bag and cut off the tip. Pipe onto board to resemble a cloud.
- Arrange fruit in rainbow pattern, curving from the cloud to the opposite side of the board.
- Place jelly beans and M&M's in bowls and put them in opposite corners of the board.
- Fill in the remaining board with cookies, cake, donuts, and brownies.
Notes
- Choose your favorites: rainbow candies (like jelly beans, chocolate coated candies, gumdrops), mini donuts, mini brownies, mini cinnamon buns, shortbread cookies, chocolate dipped cookies, ginger cookies, pretzels, chocolate covered pretzel rods, Oreos, pound cake, etc.
- The best cookies for dipping are ones that will not fall apart. For instance Oreos, chips ahoy, shortbread are great options.
- When arranging the board, start with the rainbow of fruit and frosting, then fill in the remainder of the board.
- Store frosting in a piping bag in the refrigerator if you want to make it ahead of time. Allow to soften for about 15 minutes at room temperature before piping onto the board.
