Gotta have s'more cupcakes

15 years ago

DS came home from camp today and announced he didn't need to take lunch tomorrow - they were having a BBQ.

Course I offered to send dessert and I had all the fixings for s'mores. No, he said, no real fire. So I made these instead.

And the best part...

TORCHING the marshmallow fluff frosting!!!!

I thought it would burn but they just blossomed instead.

I had a picture of a 8N with a blown flat head in it, Got of the net from a car show somewhere in the Carolina's (lost it when computer crashed)(anybody seen it????). That baby was sweet. I can't count the valve cover bolts to make out the ford V8. Maybe be a winsor.

Just to show you how one tracked my mind is, I read "cool chard" and expected to see a picture something like this one: LOL! Today I harvested more Dianthus knappii, Coreopsis grandiflora 'Sunburst', and Gaillardia 'Goblin'.Â I'll definitely be sending you some of these after they are good and dry, and I have set some aside for trades. Still waiting on the Asclepias tuberosa and Penstemon barbatus 'Coccineus' to ripen.Â I've come to the conclusion that a watched seedpod never ripensÂ : ) What kind of cupcakes were they?Â Not that it would matter to my kids (2, 5, and 9) either!Â They never met a cupcake they didn't like.

Alexa, first attempts don't turn out like that. You must be a natural. Annie, you nailed it in your last photo. Keep in mind that for sharp detail, the icing should be of medium consistency (not to soft/ not too stiff). Try my buttercream if you keep having trouble. You mentioned having trouble finishing it off. When you're close to the end, release the pressure in your hand, then barely tuck the icing tip to the last row of icing on the cupcake, and (without applying any pressure) pull away. I haven't made buttercream rosettes since Sam was little, but it seems to be making a big comeback. And I suddenly want to decorate cupcakes again. Sol

I WOULDN't afford it either! How did we live without it?? I have been using a molten lava pan with a removable bottom that I got on clearance..so it was about 7.00 . I got the heart shape one too..Chicago something . I like that it makes nice big cupcakes with straight sides.. I think it is wonderful your little daughter is doing that. Email me your address if she does it and I'll send you a donation.

LC, those look delicious, I love toasted marshmallow. I have them about once a year and then I'm over it, but I really like them.

I tried to check out the blog but I got a zillion ads and it took forever to load, redirected me to Foodbuzz, then locked up my computer, so I have no idea which recipe you adapted, LOL. Oh well, at least I don't have dial up any more, that was pretty much impossible...

Your cupcakes look fabulous!

I just got my Cuisine at Home magazine and it has a recipe for S'mores Cupcakes that have chocolate ganache under the marshmallow topping, but I have to say that your cupcakes look better than those in the magazine.

Oh those are so pretty. I've been afraid of using kitchen torches but now I'm tempted...

Last week I was whipping up a Swiss Meringue buttercream for cupcakes and it had the same procedure for the egg/sugar. I remember tasting it and thinking it tasted like marshmallows. :) The only difference was whipping in butter afterwards, which changed the taste and made an amazing silky texture. I was actually thinking of you, Momto4kids, because I remember your post about that cooked frosting. A lot of the bakeries use the swiss meringue buttercream so if you haven't tried it, you might want to. Gorgeous texture and nice flavor with vanilla and almond.

Those looks scrumpious (sp). Seeing these makes me sad, DH doesn't think I could handle a kitchen torch. But I really think it would be cool it have one.

sumnerfan, you don't need a kitchen torch, swipe one of those propane torches from the garage, works like a charm, as long as you don't get carried away and turn it WAAAAYYY up.

No problem! I hope you have success with it.

This was the recipe that I used last week. I used 1t each of vanilla and almond extract in it and it was really good. It whipped up perfectly.
