Description
Delicious chocolate cupcakes topped with fluffy marshmallow frosting and colorful sugary petals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Chocolate cupcakes
- 4 cups Marshmallow frosting
- 1 cup Marshmallow fluff
- 2 cups Jelly beans (Or any round candy you like such as m&m or Skittles)
- 1 bag Marshmallows (10 oz. bag. You can also use mini marshmallows to make small petals or large marshmallows to make larger petals)
- 1 cup Granulated sugar (Divide the sugar into a few smaller cups and color each batch with a few of drops of liquid food coloring)
Instructions
- Bake chocolate cupcakes and allow them to cool fully to room temperature.
- While the cupcakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.
- Fill each cupcake with marshmallow fluff. Check out this detailed post on How to Make Filled Cupcakes (Stuffed Cupcakes).
- Spread a thin layer of icing on top of each cupcake with a spatula. It does not need to be perfectly smooth.
- Fill each mini plastic flower pot with about 1 tbsp of jelly beans. This is optional. My family likes the little hidden surprise.
- Place the frosted cupcake in each pot on top of the jelly beans.
- Spread some more frosting on top of the cupcake and use a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Cut each marshmallow diagonally with scissors.
- Place them in a bowl of colored sugar.
- Mix with a spoon until the sticky side is fully covered in colorful sugar.
- Stick them on top of your frosted cupcakes. Start from the outer edge and work your way inwards. Make one row of petals, then a second row, then a third row until the top is completely covered in petals.
- Place a small jelly bean or m&m candy in the center and you are done. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe can be customized with different colors of food coloring for the sugar coating on the marshmallows.
- You can use mini marshmallows or large marshmallows for decoration.
- For a more chocolatey flavor, consider adding cocoa powder to the frosting.
