Dahlia Flower Cupcake Decoration

6:33 PM

If you're looking for a fun way to decorate cupcakes in honor of spring, look no further! I saw this idea on Pinterest and had to give it a try for myself.  This is so much easier than it looks and a great way to get the kids involved in the kitchen!

What You'll Need:
- 16 to 20 whole mini marshmallows per cupcake
- Colored sugar sprinkles
- Baggies or small bowls (one for each color you use)
- Scissors

Directions:
Hold mini marshmallow, on its ends, between your fingers and cut horizontally. Repeat this process for all of the marshmallows. You should end up with 32 to 40 bits for each cupcake.  Place marshmallow halves into colored sugar and stir or shake, shake, shake!  The colored sugar will stick to the cut ends of the marshmallows.  Take a cupcake and spread on a layer of frosting, not too thick, the marshmallows make them pretty rich.  Arrange marshmallow halves on cupcakes starting from the outside and work your way around to the center.  For the center, add a half of a different color to give the flower more character.
