O My Gosh!
cheerchick162543 - May 25, 2007 10:45:45 AM PSTThis recipe was so great my mom, grandparents, friends and I loved them so much. It\'s like your taste buds went to heaven. There so good that I\'m going to serve these at my birthday party coming up I know everyone will love them. With the marshmallows, jello, and sprinkles its so good. If someone asked me what would you do to change this recipe I would say nothing because it has everything that should be in there. The only thing that I wish I knew was the nutrition facts. But this recipe was so great. Everyone should try this recipe if you dont then your really missing out on something so delicious.

Just for fun
brownbreadandale - October 1, 2007 11:21:49 AM PSTNot every single recipe has to have a the approval of the food police.
Sometimes (especially with birthday, and holiday fare) food is part of our "memory making" and has a value that far surpasses our "daily nutritional needs."
And, sometimes, food is just for fun. My MIL used to make a version of these marshmallow flowers and this recipe reminds me of her, and her efforts to make food memorable. Yes, she also served Brussels sprouts, squash, and Cornish Pasties, chicken, lamb, salads, and vegetables galore. She was a great "nutritional" cook, but this recipe reminds me of the time my seven year-old daughter was presented with "the prettiest cake in the world" courtesy of my MIL, and the magic she could create with a fluffy frosted layer cake, a bag of marshmallows, a pair of sharp kitchen shears, and assorted pastel colored sugar crystals. My MIL covered the top of the cake with pink, yellow, turquoise, orange, and lavender "marshmallow flowers" that cascaded over the edge and around the sides. And, while that cake may have been laden with calories, the memory of my MIL\'s efforts, and my daughter\'s eyes, will last forever.2 of 3 found this review helpful.

Awesome!!!
- February 27, 2009 10:26:10 AM PSTThis was excellent, easy to make and decorate. Even my husband liked it and he is not big on cake. I\\\'m going to make this again for my daughter\\\'s b-day treat at school, but I am going to try it will the small marshmellows to make small flowers on the cupcakes.
