Description

Makes 24 cupcakes


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow cake mix, made according to package directions, into 24 cupcakes
  • 1 cup vegetable shortening
  • 3/4 cup Marshmallow Creme
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 7 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 oz chocolate for melting (I used almond bark)

Instructions

  1. Prepare cupcakes according to package directions and cool completely.
  2. In your stand mixer cream together your Marshmallow Creme and shortening until smooth, about a minutes on medium high speed.
  3. Slowly add in your powdered sugar and heavy cream on low speed. Once incorporated turn mixer up to medium-high and beat for 1-2 minutes until fluffy.
  4. Fill piping bag, not fitted with a tip with approximately 1 cup of frosting. Cut off about 1/2 inch of the bag and pierce each cupcake with the bag, squeezing about 2 teaspoons of frosting in each. The cupcake will begin to expand. Don’t overfill, or your cupcake will crack.
  5. Frost the cupcakes with the remaining frosting.
  6. Melt your chocolate in a zip-top bag in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted. Squeezing bag each 30 seconds to mix chocolate. Snip off a small corner of the bag and drizzle your chocolate stripes on cupcakes.
