Here's how you make your flowers. Start by making your green frosting. Mix your white frosting with 4-5 drops of food coloring. Your goal is to get the frosting to a light green color similar to a mint green. You can add more food coloring than this to achieve the green you are looking for. Oops! Did you use too much and now the color is too dark? No worries, just add some more white icing to tone it down.
You want to frost a thick layer of your green frosting onto your 12 cupcakes. Make sure it's thick or your flowers won't stick to your cupcakes. Also, stay away from the edges of the cupcake unless you want messy hands when you go to grab them.
Ready to create the petals? Get a marshmallow and lie it on it's side on the cutting board. Each marshmallow will yield 3 flower petals. We aren't slicing the marshmallows, we are just using our own weight to put pressure straight down on the blade to smash a cut through. Press down until the blade goes through it. Repeat this until you have 60 petals cut out.
Here comes the fun part! Lay your petals around the cupcake leaving a 1/2" - 1/4" diameter hole in the center. You should be able to fit 5 petals per cupcake. Now grab that Nilla cookie and dab some frosting onto it and press it down in the center of your flower. Presto, you have adorable flowers that your guests will rave over!
