Saw this idea in a Harris Teeter grocery flyer last week and thought that my children would enjoy decorating cupcakes this way. I was right, they did. I made a few changes but here is what you will need- cupcakes, buttercream frosting, Pastilles, Vanilla Wafers, white mini marshmallows, and yellow mini marshmallows which are sold in a bag of multi-colored minis by Kraft Foods.
I made a tray of some myself…
Because once you let the children loose, you’ll never know what you’ll get…
Here are what Pastilles are…
You can find them in Trader Joe’s or any highend grocery store, top shelf item.
Enjoy something fun and easy for a change.

so cute! I LOVE them!
Very cute Robin. I would definitely be going for the ones with chocolate in the center.
You're right, my guys would love doing this too. They did a good job. They turned out really cute.
SO cute! Glad you posted up what Pastilles were because I was like.. "What's that??"
Those are so cute. What a fun activity for kids.

The cupcakes were delicious!
And a great idea, right in time for spring blossoming.
how festive! is it just me, or do the colored marshmallows taste completely different from and much better than the white ones?
So cute – and so easy for kids to make!
What a great idea! My daughter LOVES marshmallows, and loves it when I make homemade ones over the Christmas holidays.
Hope you had a great weekend!
So bright and cheery!
Saw your profile on another page. Glad I read your intersting and well-written blog. Look forward to following you here. Have a great day. Cheers!
These are simply cute! What a great project to do with kids. You could hardly go wrong and they look so cheerful.
LOve them – and I bet they're the best tasting cupcakes as well!!!!
Very nice.
My daughter wants to have a cake decorating contest….her against me. We're doing it this week. Wish me luck!

Ahh this is adorable!! And so easy!
These cupcakes are colorful and I love it! I’ve tried putting marshmallows on cupcakes before. I will try your idea of putting that round pastilles on cup cake in Perth.
