Spring!

Hey, so I haven't blogged in a very long time. It's already summer and the last time I blogged was during Christmas time. So anyway, during lacrosse season I made these Spring flower cupcakes for one of the games. They're really easy to make, they just require a lot of time.

So all I did to make these was whip up a batch of cupcakes and frost them with plain vanilla frosting. Then I took mini marshmallows, a bag will do, and started cutting them in half at an angle. It got pretty sticky, so be prepared. Then I took the sticky side of the marshmallow halves and stuck that into a dish of sprinkles. Then I just stuck the "petal" onto the flower and kept doing that until I got a full flower. I worked my way from the outside in and used about 27 petals per flower. Then I stuck a little non parel in the middle of the flower on some of them and left some of them plain. Each flower took a long time to make, so I decided since I was low on time to use some other candies I had like M&Ms and licorice to make other flowers too.

Use a bunch of different sprinkles, different colors and even different shapes like the colorful circle ones in the picture above. They could come out really cool.

I also went a little crazy and threw some big marshmallows into the mix, like the red one above.
