  1. Ask a parent to help you prepare cupcakes according to the directions on the box. Let cool.
  2. Mix in a few drops of food coloring to frosting.
  3. Using a butter knife, spread a thin coat of frosting on the top of your cupcake.
  4. Place a marshmallow on its side. Ask a parent to cut it into five thin slices using a sharp knife. These will be flower petals.
  5. Arrange petals in a circle on the top of your iced cupcake. Place an M&M in the center of the petals.
