Butterfly Cupcakes

I made these for a sweet friend’s birthday last year, and didn’t know how appropriate they would be for this year as well.  Misty, although you’re far away from us today, know you are still close to our hearts.  We love you so much and will keep asking the Lord to break through that cocoon of sorrow and give you wings to fly even higher than before!

These butterfly cupcakes were a spur of the moment creation.  I had bought some pink heart marshmallows for Valentine’s day, and when I saw them on the counter, I just thought of wings.  hehe  Using my handy dandy Cutco kitchen shears, I cut the heart marshmallows into thin slices, then added a pink mini-marshmallow head.  I used some pink frosting to add the body (tip #18) and face (tip #3) details.
