Marshmallows go from mundane to marvellous in these beautiful cupcakes! They're conveniently prepared with cake mix and ready-to-spread icing.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 4. Line 2 x 12-hole muffin trays with paper cupcake cases. Make, bake and cool the cake mix as directed for cupcakes on the box.
Using a small palette knife, swirl the icing on top of the cupcakes.
Spray the blades of kitchen scissors with cooking oil spray and cut each marshmallow on the diagonal into 3-4 slices pinching each slice gently at one end to make a petal shape (see Tip).
Sprinkle one cut side of each marshmallow ‘petal’ with 100s and 1000s (do in batches of 5, using just pink, cream or yellow and white for each batch). Arrange 5 ‘petals’ of a single colour slightly overlapping on the top of each cupcake to create a flower. Place a birthday candle in the centre of each flower.
