These were a pain!! I'm a professional cake decorator and I had trouble, I'm thinking most other people would have trouble. But they are so dang CUTE they are worth it. Make sure you have very little corn syrup on marshmallow or it will weep and get gross. I never ate one but the kids that did loved them so I am rating 4 stars. For prep and effort; 2 stars.

These are adorable! Thanks for the great idea. With these & the ghost cupcakes, ours are sure to be the hit of the bake sale. As for it not being a recipe in the classic sense, so what! Type cupcakes in the search box & you'll find more recipes than you can make in a year! Thanks again & keep up the good work.

With all respect this is not a cupcake recipe. This is a cute idea for children's cupcakes but it can not be considered a recipe. If your "recipe of the week" is going to continue to be idea of the week please take my name off your list. I wanted cupcake ideas. Thanks
