Unicorn Marshmallow Cupcakes
The key to making these unicorn marshmallow cupcakes? Keeping it simple! You can totally do that, right?!
Head to the store and grab 6 baked cupcakes. You’ll save so much time! Then all you need to worry about is having the remainder of the ingredients shown below, and you’re ready to start decorating and creating these unicorn cupcakes.
Make certain that the chocolate gets melted really, really well so it’s not lumpy. You don’t want your unicorn head to be bumpy, right?
Once it’s melted entirely, you can dip in your marshmallow to get it coated with chocolate.
Decorating the top of the cupcake with frosting is actually a lot of fun, too. But, it takes a bit of practice on your part to get it looking perfect.
One simple tip to making it easier is to start from the outside of the cupcake and work your way in. It will stack nicely and give it a cool whirled effect.
Decorating the Unicorn Marshmallow Cupcakes
Making the ears for the cupcakes is really simple! Just make your triangles and let them dry. Then, once they’re dry, you can add them to the cupcakes.
The key to making them is to just have a little squeeze of the chocolate from the bag! Too much and they’ll be too big, too little and they’ll be hard to get them off the paper.
