Icing a la Martha Stewart

I love chocolate cupcakes, but I'm not a huge fan of icing. I'm also not a huge fan of making icing or of marshmallows. So when I came across this Martha Stewart idea for quick and easy cupcake frosting, I was both thrilled and dubious. I'm pleased to say it is as quick and easy as the recipe said and pretty much the tastiest marshmallows I have ever eaten.

Take cupcakes out of the oven two minutes before the recommended baking time, and set a single (large) marshmallow on top of each. Finish baking, then quickly tap the marshmallows with your hand to flatten. Pretty, easy & yummy! Does it get any better than that?

Just in time for Valentine's Day! Bake up a batch of chocolate cupcakes and give it a try.
