Party Food Idea Lollipop Flower Cupcakes
Turn cupcakes into pretty flower treats with lollipops, bright, easy and perfect for spring or party fun.
Ingredients
- 6 Prepared Cupcake Unfrosted
- 1 Can White Frosting
- 6 Dum Dum Lollipops
- ½ Cup White Candy Melts
- 6 Large Marshmallows
- Sanding Sugars Assorted colours
- Green Candy Shreds
- Green Food Coloring
Instructions
- Color the frosting with the green colouring and frost each cupcake with a smooth layer of frosting. Sprinkle some green shreds on top of each one so it looks like grass.
- Hold a marshmallow lengthwise and use scissors to cut it into 5 thin slices. You will only need 4 of the slices for each flower so you can dispose of one slice. Repeat this with all the marshmallows. The slices will look like flower petals. Trim off a tiny end of each marshmallow petal so they all have a flat edge.
- Sprinkle a small pile of one color of the sugars onto a plate, and dip 4 of the marshmallow petals into the sugar so one side of the petal is coated in the sugar.
- Repeat this step with the other color sugars and the other marshmallow petals.
- Melt the candy melts in a small bowl per package directions. Then let the chocolate set for 5-10 minutes until it’s not so runny but becomes a bit tacky.
- Unwrap a sucker and choose the 4 petals of whichever colour you would like to start with.
- Take a petal, dip the flat edge that you cut earlier into the chocolate and press it to the lollipop.
- Do this with all 4 petals going around the lollipop in a circular shape so it looks like a flower.
- You will need to hold each petal in place for about 30 seconds or so until the chocolate sets enough for the petal to stay in place.
- The runnier your chocolate is, you will have to hold the petals longer.
- Repeat step 5 with the other lollipops and petals. Let the flowers lay until the chocolate is completely hardened.
- Stick one of the flowers down into each cupcake so it looks like it has grown up from the ground.
Notes
- Bake 6 cupcakes and let them cool.
- Slice large marshmallows diagonally, dip in sanding sugars, and attach to lollipops with melted white candy melts.
- Frost cupcakes with green frosting, sprinkle with candy shreds, and insert the decorated lollipop to complete the flower.
