Ingredients

  • 18 Vanilla Cupcakes
  • 1 C unsalted sweet cream butter, softened
  • 2 C powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1 bag mini marshmallows

Directions

1

Empty the bag of mini marshmallows into a large bowl.

2

Use scissors to snip the top half of each marshmallow in 3 to 4 spots. Doing this will make them look like freshly popped popcorn kernels. Set the prepped marshmallows aside.

3

Using a standing mixer, combine all ingredients until stiff peaks form and the frosting is creamy.

4

Scoop the frosting into a piping bag prepared with a medium star tip.

5

Pipe frosting onto the cupcakes.

6

Begin sticking the "popcorn" onto the frosting to make it look like a mound of "popcorn".

7

Once done sticking on the popcorn, spray spots yellow to make it look like butter.
