12 Cupcakes (any flavor) White Frosting Green Food Coloring 20 Large Marshmallows Cutting Board Sharp Knife 12 Nilla Wafer Cookies

It does not matter whether you buy your cupcakes at the store or you bake them at home. To get the best effect, make sure you use pink or white cupcake liners. These will help your birthday dessert stand out.

To make your Foofa's flowers, the first thing you will need to do is to make green frosting. Begin by putting 4-5 drops of food coloring into your white frosting and mix well. The color of the frosting should be a light green mint color. If it's not, continue adding food coloring until you get the color you want. If you make the mistake of going too dark, simply add more white frosting and mix well. This will lighten up the color.

Frost all 12 of your cupcakes with your green frosting. Make sure that you get a good thick layer on your cakes. The frosting is what will hold your flower in place. Also, try to make sure that you do not frost too far over the edge of your cupcake as this will create a mess when you try to eat them.

Now it is time to create the petals for our flower. Take a marshmallow and lay it on it's side on a cutting board. You will be cutting 3 petals from each marshmallow. Place your knife where you intend to cut and press down firmly. You do not want to saw the marshmallow, simply press down until you have cut completely through it. Continue on until you have all 20 marshmallows cut into 60 petals.

Let's assemble our flower! Each cupcake will have 5 petals. Place each petal on your cupcake leaving a ¼ to ½ inch diameter opening in the center. Grab a Nilla Wafer and put a bit of your green frosting on the back of it. Then, simply place your cookie in the center of the cupcake so that it overlaps the petals. There you have it! Simply Foofa flower cupcakes that anyone can do!
