STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into muffin pan cups; set aside.
STEP 2
Combine all cupcake ingredients in bowl; beat according to package directions. Fill each prepared muffin cup 2/3 full. Bake 15-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
STEP 3
Beat 3/4 cup butter in bowl at medium speed until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat at low speed until well mixed. Add marshmallow crème; beat at high speed until creamy. Frost cooled cupcakes.
STEP 4
Create clown faces on cupcakes just before serving, using decorations as desired.
- For a fun party idea, bake and frost cupcakes as directed. Place decoration ingredients in separate bowls and let each child create his own clown face.
- Cotton candy becomes hard and shrivels if you put it on too far in advance. It is best to add cotton candy just before serving.
- If frosting is too thin, beat in additional powdered sugar.
