Marshmallow Flower Cupcake Tutorial


Daylight saving time has arrived and it seems that it has also brought back freezing temperatures. Did mother nature not get the memo about the spring equinox arriving on March 20???  What a disappointment!!!  I thought that after the record warm weather in February, spring was here to stay. And to make things even worse, we are expecting winter storm Stella tomorrow night which is anticipated to bring blizzard conditions and a decent amount of snow fall. Yikes!!!

What are you going to do sweet friends!!!  We can't control mother nature so for now, I will settle for dreaming of spring.  With that in mind. today I am sharing a recipe and tutorial for these darling Marshmallow Flower Cupcakes that are sure to get you talking about spring flowers.









Bake your favorite cupcake mix or follow the simple recipe below:

  18. These cupcakes are adorable... Great for a bridal shower, because they are like little boquets of flowers... A spring tea in the garden is great.
    I am going to make these, I have to try my hand at them and see how creative I can get.

  21. Janet,

    I'm stopping off from "Create With Joy" this Monday morning. Congrats on being one of this week's featured bloggers. These cupcakes are so pretty! I am going to save your idea for a future cake decorating project. I haven't made cupcakes in years and DH says he'd rather just have a cake so maybe I'll spruce up an ordinary cake with these marshmallow spring flowers. It may be a little trickier than a cupcake but I'm willing to give it a try! Thanks for sharing!

    I invite you to visit Curious as a Cathy for a little mewsic and learn about my AprilA2Z challenge theme reveal!

9 Steps for Hosting The Ultimate Spring Birthday Tea Party

Hi friends - I've missed you all.  Things are rapidly changing for us all.  Many of us are working from home these days, stopped gathering with family and weekend outings are basically trips to the supermarket to restock.  It's the least that we can do to help stop the spreading of this horrific virus that is changing the world as we know it.  That being said, I am so glad that I got to spend time with family and friends two weeks ago when we all came together for the celebration of my Goddaughter Daniella's birthday.  We had a blast and the memories made are ones that will live in my heart forever.     My sincerest thank you to everyone that helped me put this beautiful event together.  Especially my cousin, Jennifer of Having Fun Craft s, for making all the gorgeous place cards and backdrops.  They were a beautiful addition to the overall decor.  A big thank you and hug to my niece Ericka for flying in from Florida to help me put it all together and to the amazi

Wood Box Rustic Floral Arrangement Tutorial

So what do you do with an old wooden bit box found at a flea market???  Well, the answer is very simple for those of us that love all things vintage and worn...  We display flowers of course.   And luckily, I scored big on my trip to my local grocery store yesterday. Our flower vendor had the most spectacular roses in stock.  I couldn't believe how gorgeous they were.  Two tone roses in the most delicate soft shades of pink and fuchsia.  I knew these roses were meant for me!!!  I grab two bunches and practically ran home to snap a few shots of them and arrange them to showcase their timeless beauty. So today, I am sharing a tutorial on how I made this rustic centerpiece...  The best part of this tutorial, is that there are no fancy materials needed.  The only items required are the flowers, a few glass tumblers, water and floral shears or scissors.  And in less than 10 minutes, you will have a spectacular centerpiece that will rival any one that you may purchase at a Floris

A Country Christmas Tablescape

Until this Christmas, I had no idea that I was going to be having a little obsession with vintage trucks. Specifically, red pickup trucks.  Me, the girl that loves to decorate with delicate flowers and romantic fabrics.  Hard to believe but it is true!!!  And decorating with vintage cars is seems to be having a moment..  They are everywhere!! So today, I am happy to share one of my most pinned and shared tablescapes.  It is my Country/Farm house themed Christmas table which showcases my latest find. You guess it!  A red pickup truck.  It was just too adorable to pass up.  I didn't know what use it would have in my decor when I first brought it home but it quickly became the inspiration for all of our Christmas decorating the last two holiday seasons. Such a fun piece to own with a great vintage vibe too.   My whimsical table begins with a distressed wood charger in antique white, topped with simple white plates and Pier 1 Imports Glad Tidings Porcelain Salad plates.  I al
