How to Make
Make cupcakes following directions on cake mix box. Allow them to cool completely and then frost each cupcake.
To make the flower petals, cut a large marshmallow into four sections. You will need at least five petals to make the flower. After you cut the large marshmallow into the petals, use the sticky side of a petal to put colored sugar sprinkles on it. (TIP - I usually put the spinkles into a small box or plate and then press the petal into the sprinkles to make sure the entire petal is covered.)
After the petals are applied to the cupcake, put a small colored marshmallow (or small candy) in the middle of the petals for the flower bud.
Use your creativity to make all different types of jeweled flowers.

Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your cupcake or sweet treat is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
