Hello, Cupcake taste! from taste of Home!

Halloween is coming and taste of Home Magazine
invited us out to their test kitchen to stir up some monstrous ideas for the holidays. We had so much fun playing with marshmallows or jelly, that we decided to do everything from them, we created a whole spread of Marshmallow monsters use marshmallows or jelly and ingredients right out of the pantry to do brilliantly scary creatures. Just take a look at the big Eyed Marshmallow Monster we created. It has one big Marshmallow with a Junior Mint in mind, and plenty of canned frosting tinted neon green (we use Duncan Hines Creamy Homestyle) with neon food coloring (McCormick). We took the squeeze-release-pull technique from what's new, Cupcake? create furry fandom frosting uses the texture in a freezer Ziploc bag weight piping. I love not comfortable fog, the photographer is used for photos. Black solid cupcake liners are available in select grocery stores (Reynolds).

When one eye is not enough ... Use mini marshmallows or jelly and do parties! We have used many mini marshmallows or jelly with orange M & Ms Minis to make our Google Eyed Monster. For this one we placed mini Marshmallow eyes at the end of licorice lace and lace make crazy twisted eyes. We used the blue sprinkles neon green frosting increase creep factor.


You can also find a fun twist on our Thanksgiving Turkey stuffed project from what's new, Cupcake? in this issue of taste of home. Take a look at the really fun way believe we should you garnish Turkey this year. Look for the fall issue of taste of home for in your mailbox or pick on the news. You must meet our whole gang of Marshmallow monsters and get the complete instructions to do them.
