Welcome Spring!!

We are now officially into our second day of Spring.  HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

I don't know about you, but around here, it hasn't really looked like Spring with the snow we got yesterday. But just due to the fact that it finally, officially is, makes me so excited for all of the changes I so look forward to every year!

So in celebration to this new, beautiful season, I wanted to post some pictures and instructions on these ADORABLE Chrysanthemum cupcakes I made for my daughters Flower Garden Birthday Party. 



They are SO easy to make!  Get excited.

Get very excited...

Here's what you'll need:

Any kind of cupcakes (my daughter wanted the Funfetti kind)
White frosting
Mini marshmallows
Colored sugar (as seen here, we went with pink, purple, and yellow)

Bake your cupcakes.  I found these green ruffle cupcake liners at Wal-Mart that were PERFECT!

Once the cupcakes have cooled, frost with white frosting.

Pour some colored sugar into Ziplock sandwich bags (one color per bag).

Using kitchen shears or clean scissors, snip mini marshmallows in half and place them the sugar-filled bags.

Zip the bags closed and give them a good shake.

The sugar will only stick to the sticky cut part of the marshmallows.

Arrange the colored mini marshmallows onto the frosted cupcakes, starting from the outside, working your way to the middle.


 And that's it!  How easy is that?!


Then you get SUPER ADORABLE cupcakes like these.  Love.


Happy Spring!!!
