Yesterday I shared an awesome new product from Duncan Hines called Frosting Creations, a Frosting Creations Giveaway from All You Magazine and the S’mores Cupcakes I made with Frosting Creations. As always I’m not content decorating an entire batch of cupcakes just one way, and wanted to share some fun variations with you.
Chocolate Cupcake + Chocolate Marshmallow Frosting + Easter = PEEPS! How could I not top one of these cupcakes with a cute little chocolate dipped PEEP???
Ah, so cute! And super easy. I just topped my cupcakes with PEEPS and sprinkles. Simple simple simple!
And for my S’mores Cupcakes, I decided it would be fun to take them a bit over the top. I found the perfect idea… S’mores Mini Dippers from Kevin & Amanda, made with Jet Puffed Mallow Bits? The perfect topping for the S’mores Cupcakes.
All you need are graham crackers, chocolate and the Mallow Bits. Amanda has a great tutorial on her site, make sure to check it out. Now, these are more than fine all on their own…
But how fun to add to a S’mores Cupcake.
With so many fun flavors including Bubble Gum, Caramel, Cinnamon Roll, Cotton Candy, Mocha and White Chocolate Raspberry, the options for creative baking are endless. Make sure you enter to win one of THREE Frosting Creations Prize Packs that All You Magazine will be giving to my readers so that you can whip up your own unique creation!
I haven’t tried the new Frosting Creations yet but I was wondering….if it isn’t stiff enough to use with a piping bag and a pretty tip couldn’t I just add some powdered sugar to make it thicker?
Jackie, my thinking is exactly like yours – I’d add some powdered sugar. I was actually hunting for the Cotton Candy or Bubble Gum this morning (no luck unfortunately) so that I could try exactly that. I will absolutely share when I try it – if you do let me know how it goes.
You are the queen of tempting me with both adorable and tasty treats
Oh I want all of these so much!
How awesome is that? They are almost too cute to eat.
Wow! Those decorations look really awesome!
These look so fun!! Do you frost your cupcakes with a piping bag or with an offset spatula?
I could totally try these for easter! they look really cute!
These are so cute! What a fantastic treat for Easter!
I’VE BEEN MAKING FUDGE WITH THESE NIFTY LIL PACKETS AND MILK SHAKES WITH THEM. THEY R POSTED ON JUSTAPINCH.COM
what kind of chocolate did you dip the peeps in and did u put the sprinkles under the peeps–so far didnt find the chocolate marshmallow frosting
oh and loved this!!! thanx making to bring to easter!
I add the flavor packets to my butter cream frosting…amazing!! For the kids winter holiday school parties I made hot cocoa cupcakes by adding a chocolate marshmallow flavor packet to vanilla butter cream, then frosted German Chocolate cupcakes with it. I topped them with canned whip cream (holds up better) mini-marshmallows (like the s’mores graham crackers above) and shaved chocolate. I put mini candy canes on the sides like a little handles. The kids loved them (even the 7th graders) and asked me to make them again next year.
