Dahlia Cupcakes

This weekend I helped a friend decorate cupcakes for an open house. It was getting dark by the time we finished and my photos didn't turn out. So I had to make a batch at home.
 Darn:>)
These cupcakes are super easy and I think they are just the cutest ever.  You simply cut mini marshmallows in half diagonally, toss in a bag with colored sugar and arrange the "petals" around the frosted cupcake in layers to make the flower.  I used white pearl cake decorations for the centers, and I had to use red sugar because that was all I had.  Go figure.
These look adorable on mini cupcakes too.
Don't forget to comment on my giveaway post for a chance to win my ruffled flag pillow.  Giveaway ends Monday, June 27th so hurry!

They are very cute. I knew I should have stopped by while I was down there yesterday. We could have...helped you...get rid of them. Out of the goodness of our hearts, of course.
