Macaroni Menu ~ MK Daisy Cupcakes

By Lisa Gofberg, Conejo Valley Publisher Mom April 26, 2012
I spent the afternoon today making these adorable Macaroni Kid-themed daisy cupcakes with my own Macaroni Kids! They are a perfect treat for spring or summer. Enjoy!
*Editor's Note: I have also seen these made with yellow frosting and mini-marshmallows placed all around the outside as the 'petals'.  Both equally cute and so easy to make.  Have fun with this one!*

What You'll Need:
- Package of cake mix with required ingredients
- Frosting
- Bag of standard size marshmallows
- Gumdrops (any color)



Directions:
1. Make cupcakes using cake mix as described on box.
2. Bake, cool and frost.


3. With kitchen shears, cut marshmallow in to circles. (I was able to get four circles per marshmallow)


4. Squeeze one end of each marshmallow to make it look like a flower petal.


5. Place six marshmallow petals around each frosted cupcake to create the flower.


6. Place a gumdrop in the center.
