1
Frost half of the cupcake with vanilla and the other half with chocolate frosting.
2
Tint a bit of the remaining vanilla frosting with green food coloring, and spoon it into a small Ziploc bag. Cut off the tip of one corner and pipe a thick line of green frosting where the chocolate and vanilla meet.
3
Cut a length of sour strip about 5 inches long. Use scissors to snip little triangles all along one side, allowing the strip to bend sideways in a half circle while still lying smooth. Lay the strip in a semi-circle around the outer edge of the vanilla frosting, pressing it into the frosting but still protruding over the edge.
4
Fill in the white-frosted area with M&Ms, right up to and overlapping with the sour-strip rainbow.
