Our family met at Red Robbin restaurant to celebrate Nathan’s birthday. It was so nice to have everyone there. We had dinner and then the Hi Hat cupcakes I made for the celebration (more on this later). Nathan had a wonderful time and received some nice things for his birthday.
Thank you everyone for making this a nice day for Nathan.
Now for the cupcakes. The recipe is from Martha Stewart, who I understand used the recipe in the "Cupcakes!" cookbook. I found the marshmallow like frosting to be far to sweet. It is basically a very sweet version of a 7 minute frosting. Following the original recipe you will find my recommended changes.
I would use the following frosting recipe (or your favorite 7 minute frosting recipe):
Marshmallow Cream Frosting
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 egg whites
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions:
In top of double boiler, combine sugar, water, and egg whites. Cook over simmering water, beating until soft peaks form.
Add marshmallow creme; beat until stiff peaks form. Remove from heat; beat in vanilla.
The chocolate coating can also be done with melting chocolate which will give it a harder shell that will not melt to the touch.
