Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
2 Pour bag of white miniature marshmallows into large shallow bowl. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the frosting into small bowl; tint with food color to desired shade of pink for nose; set aside. Pipe or spread remaining frosting on cupcakes (frosting will be slightly mounded). Press top of each cupcake into marshmallows, covering top completely. Place cupcakes on platter, fitting snugly together. Sprinkle leftover marshmallows as needed to fill in any gaps between cupcakes forming face.
3 Sprinkle pink marshmallows in center of each ear. Place peppermint patties on face for eyes. Pipe or spread pink frosting on face for nose. Pipe 3 (3-inch) lines with black decorating gel on either side of nose for whiskers; pipe 2 lines below nose for mouth. (Or, cut 6 thin 3-inch pieces of licorice for whiskers and 2 thin 5-inch strips of licorice for mouth; arrange on face.) Store loosely covered.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

If you cannot find the fruit-flavored miniature marshmallows, tint additional frosting pink and pipe or frost the center of the ears pink.

Paste or liquid food color can be substituted for the gel food color.

I loved making this cake. I didn't have all the stuff for the face so I used what I had. I didn't use the marshmallows, I just iced the cupcakes. It used quite a bit of icing but it looked good. I used Oreos as the eyes, pink m&ms for the ears and nose, and then chocolate chips for whiskers and mouth. I cannot wait to show it off! Very easy to make!

This is really easy to make - even for the amateur! It actually turns out looking just like the picture! It was the perfect birthday cake for my granddaughter who is CRAZY about marshmallows! She was way more interested in eating the marshmallows off the top of the cupcake than she was eating the cake!!
