Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place a paper baking cup into each of the cups of the muffin pan.
Prepare cake mix as directed on box using the ingredients needed.
Fill each muffin cup about ⅔ full.
Bake as directed on cake mix box. Cool completely.
Frost cupcakes with frosting.
Dampen a kitchen shears with some water and cut the marshmallows into slices (figure 5 slices for each cupcake).
Sprinkle each slice with nonpareils, sprinkles or colored sugar.
Arrange the slices on the cupcakes in a flower shape (see notes below).

Consistent Slicing: To ensure uniformity in your marshmallow flower slices, dampen your kitchen shears with water before cutting. This prevents the marshmallows from sticking to the blades and helps achieve clean, even cuts.
Play with Presentation: Get creative with how you arrange the marshmallow slices on your cupcakes. You can create traditional flower shapes by arranging the slices in a circular pattern, or experiment with different designs like petals radiating outward or layered patterns for a unique look.
Personalize with Toppings: Customize your marshmallow flower cupcakes by using various toppings for the centers of the flowers. Instead of M&Ms, consider using other candies like jelly beans, chocolate chips, or even edible flowers for a more natural touch. This adds visual interest and allows you to tailor the cupcakes to different themes or occasions.
