Easy Decorate a Cupcake with a Marshmallow

Kelsey Kinser

You will need:

cupcakes and frosting (our baby cakes mix or if you want to make your own from scratch)

large marshmallows

colored sugar sprinkles (optional but they add color to the flower petals)

corn starch (for dusting your fingers)

1. Take the marshmallow and flatten it gently in your fingers, elongating it. Using kitchen scissors make 4 cuts up the side but not all the way through! You want the marshmallow to remain in tact.
2. Dip your fingers in corn starch to prevent the marshmallows from sticking to you. Fan out the cuts, creating petals. Loop the marshmallow back in on itself and seal it in a ring.
3. Dip the cut sides into the colored sugar.
4. Cut the bottom off of another marshmallow and flatten it and roll it up like a scroll. Cut that scroll in half and place in the center of the flower to create an orchid. Skip this step to make a daisy.
