Instructions
- This is a decorating tutorial so you will need to make your buttercream and cupcakes in advance. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.12 Cupcakes, Vanilla Buttercream
- Crush up some marshmallows and fold them into the buttercream with a spatula. There is no precise measurement for this. Add as many as you desire.
- Cut approx an inch off the end of the piping bag and pop the piping nozzle inside. Add the bag to a cup or mason jar, fold over the top to form a cuff, then fill with buttercream.
- Squeeze the bag to push the buttercream towards the nozzle and twist the end slightly (for better grip).
- Hold the piping bag slightly above the cupcake as you squeeze out the buttercream and pipe a swirl. Top with marshmallows and cereal pieces.Lucky Charms Cereal (divided)

Notes
- Prep: Before starting this recipe, make sure you divide the Lucky Charms cereal to separate the marshmallows from the cereal pieces. My kids love this part (and often sneak a few!)
- Storage: these cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. If your room is particularly warm or humid, store in the fridge instead.
- Freezing: the decorated cupcakes can be frozen but bear in mind that the texture of the marshmallows and cereal pieces will be affected. I would recommend freezing the cupcakes before adding the extra marshmallow and cereal pieces. Defrost in a sealed container at room temperature then add the final decorations.
