I love cupcakes!
A cupcake denotes happiness, or possible fun times.
Cupcakes are cheery, playful and… sometimes they actually taste as good as they look.
I’ve been making quite a few cupcakes lately, and recently I found out I could just put a giant marshmallow on top of a cake, melt it for a few minutes and call it frosting.
Marshmallow on cupcakes – It’s a marriage made in sweet heaven, and I’m all for the easy and pretty…
My first try was with these hibiscus cupcakes; I made the cake using the recipe for wacky cake, omitting cocoa powder and replacing plain water with hibiscus tea.
The result is a lovely moist cake with nice pink hue. You could just as easily leave it as it is.
Topping the cake with marshmallow is simple and ingenious… it comes in handy when you don’t feel like making elaborate frostings or icing and whatnot.
After the cupcakes are done, here’s what you do…
Top with either a store-bought or homemade marshmallow then pop back into the oven for 3-5 minutes until marshmallow is soft. Remove from the oven then press down gently creating a perfect snow-white cap.
(from not without salt)
Psst… you can do this with store-bought cupcakes too!
