This year the boy is turning the big 33! Actually, his birthday is on Thursday. I won't likely see him until Friday or Saturday, but I've decided to make him cupcakes. I bought little pirate cupcake foils with little pirate flags to go in them. I also bought two 'three' candles to put in two of them (since you can't actually buy a '33' candle).
I'm mulling over a few ideas, but I think I'm going to make dark chocolate cakes with marshmallow frosting (think Fluff).
Here is the recipe for the frosting:
Marshmallow Frosting
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 large egg whites
1 jar (about 7 ounces) marshmallow fluff
1 to 2 teaspoons of coconut extract
Put sugar, water and eggwhites in a medium sized heavy saucepan, cooking on low heat beating continuosly with an electric mixer on high until soft peaks form (about 2 to 3 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and add the marshmallow fluff, beating with the mixer until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. Make sure you make this after your cupcakes are cooled, if it sits around it will dry out and you won't be able to spread it.
Thoughts? Got another Fluff Frosting recipe?
