    This 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.

  • Flower Power Cupcakes so simple!

    nancystenzler - June 13, 2008 09:14:22 AM PST
    I made these for my daughters garden tea party. They were so simple. I found pink marshmallows at Valentine's. I did not add the sprinkles and they looked beautiful just the same!
    I used gum drops in the center.
