How To Make Marshmallow Flower Cupcakes:

You’ll  need:

  • Buttercream
  • 1 bag of Mini Marshmallows
  • Colored Sugar

Place the colored sugar in a bowl. Take the mini marshmallows and cut them with kitchen shears diagonally. Place them cut side down into the colored sugar pushing gently then pull them out and put aside.

Flower Cupcakes

Frost the cupcakes with the buttercream frosting. Now take the sugared mini marshmallows and place them around the edge of the cupcake sugar side up with the points sticking out and working in a circle. Continue this working from the outside in toward the middle. Once you get to the middle of the cupcake add 2 more sugared marshmallows to make to center of the flower.
