These super cute Summertime Flower Cupcakes are exactly what you need to WOW your guests and satisfy their sweet tooth at the same time.
Ingredients
  • 12 cupcakes (try our Mocha Cupcakes or use your favorite recipe) – baked, cooled and ready to be frosted
  • Frosting of your choice – I think white makes the color stand out but you can color it to match the sugar color if you like.
  • Mini marshmallows (I used 10-13 for each flower)
  • Decorating sugar – what ever color you want your petals to be
  • White sugar
  • Candy coated chocolate
  • Sour apple candy licorice (optional)
  • A ribbon to tie your bouquet together
Instructions
  1. Work with one cupcake at a time – Frost your cupcake
  2. Cut 13 mini marshmallows in half on a diagonal (from corner to corner) This will automatically make your petal shape.
  3. Dip the cut side into the colored sugar (You can do all one color or alternate from colored to white every other petal – alternating was my favorite look)
  4. Starting with the inside row press the petals into the frosting cut side up. Alternating with white sugar dipped and colored sugar dipped if desired.
  5. When you complete the full circle around the inside of the cupcake make your second row just outside the first but lay the next row of petals between the 2 from the first row (see image).
  6. Continue until your flower is complete.
  7. I used Sour green apple Twizzler pull and peels for the “stems.”
