These cupcakes are so pretty and yet so easy to make, and you can tailor their color to suit your occasion.
You will need:
Cake mix or cupcake ingredients
Frosting
Regular size white marshmallows or if you can find them, pink are pretty
Miniature colored or white marshmallows
Kitchen scissors
Colored sugar sprinkles or you can color your own sugar
First, just bake your cupcakes.
Let them cool.
Frost them with the color of your choice. I used homemade frosting this time, but store bought would be fine.
Now you are ready to make your flower. Turn your regular size marshmallow “sideways” and cut into 5 pieces.
These are your flower petals. You can leave them white, but they are so pretty colored. Just rub the sticky side in the sprinkles of your choice and arrange them on your cupcake. Then take a miniature marshmallow and put it in the center. If you are a cake decorator and have a leaf tip, you can make some green frosting and add leaves. They are pretty either way though.
So easy and gorgeous and edible!!!

This is great! I made flower cupcakes by buying Valentine M&Ms after the holiday (inexpensive!) and making flowers with the dark and light pink candies . . . but yours look way fancier! My daughter will have to have your version for her preschool birthday treat!
