Preparation
Step 1
Begin by preparing your marshmallows. On a cutting board, use a knife to carefully cut each mini-marshmallow in half on the diagonal. Then pour your sprinkles or decorating sugar in a small bowl, and carefully press the sticky side of each halved marshmallow in the sprinkles until it is well-covered. Repeat for as many marshmallow halves as you would like (alternating colors/sprinkles if desired).
Step 2
Then cover one cupcake with icing all around, and carefully place the marshmallow halves in a line around the outside of the cupcake. Repeat with a second and third row, working toward the center. Then you can either place some candies in the center to make “stamens” (I used Good ‘N’ Plentys), or you can just fill in the center with more marshmallow halves.
Step 3
Repeat with remaining cupcakes. Then if you would like, attach pieces of green licorice to the cupcake bases to make “stems”.
