Ever since I was a baby, I've hated excessive frosting/icing/whatnot and scraped it off and flung it away! LOL So, when I see recipes like this, I must moderate them slightly to enjoy them. I made this recipe for Valentine's jumbo cupcakes and it was a massive hit!!!!
What I did is make the cake recipe as cupcakes, cored the centre of the cupcakes with your wicked cool cupcake corer, filled with Marshmallow Fluff >FROSTING<, not just the plain product, and then frosted them wtih the ganache with heart-sprinkles on top. OMG, my friends went insane over this combo!
BTW--I've found plain-straight-from-the-jar Fluff to be too unmanageable to use for frostings or fillings. So, when I need marshmallow "anything" for baking, I use their posted recipe at their website. It requires a double-boiler device but I just place a heat-proof bowl over a large pan and Bob's Your Uncle...it's done!
Keep those good recipes comin', K.A.! Also, I really appreciate that you have cupcake quantities posted, too!
Glad you took the recipe and ran with it, making it your own. I'm a big cupcake fan too, so I try to include the cupcake directions. What do you think about a blog series, Cupcake of the Month? It's been on my mind lately. ~ MaryJane
