Ol' Chuck Update - Flower Cupcakes!

I first saw these on Pinterest.  I wanted to make them for a special occasion.  Luckily - it was graduation and Mother's Day weekend.  They did take a little bit of time. But are really easy to make.  And look how cute they are!!!


First you will need to bake some cupcakes and ice them - a nice thick coat.

Second you will need mini marshmallows -  I used kitchen scissors and cut them at a diagonal.



That will expose a sticky side of the  marshmallow's.  Dip that in colored sugar. We had red, orange and green.  We had bought the sugar to use on home made mints for my wedding - but it didn't work like we thought. So we already had the sugar on hand - Score!!!  I think we are going to make these cupcakes again for my little sisters bridal shower - using her wedding colors!



Arrange the marshmallow's as petals - I used a gum drop for a center to work around.  But you wouldn't have to do that.


We made about 70 of these and used a bag and half of mini marshmallow's and 1 bag of gumdrops.

I got a lot of compliments on them!  Give them a try!




And check out another great blog  This Uncharted Rhoade   - she has tried several items from Pinterest!

  1. They turned out wonderful. I do doubt I would go to that much work though, it would have to be a special occasion.
