I did the green frosting (with a spatula) and green sprinkles here:


Then I piped white frosting on like so, for the "clouds":


I added the Pearls:


I cut each sour rainbow belt in half, then bent and stuck the end in the "clouds". I put them all in the fridge to let the frosting settle and harden. They did really well, and the rainbow candies held their shape! I am very happy with the result:


Lastly, I put each cupcake in a gold wrapper and hauled them in this neat carrier to Boo's preschool:



Good luck!
