Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray or line a standard muffin tin.
2
|
Add cake mix to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand or stand mixer, mix in your water, oil, and egg whites on medium until well incorporated.
3
|
Add batter into the muffin tin until each is about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before adding the marshmallow fluff filling.
Directions for Marshmallow Fluff Filling
1
|
In a medium mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter, and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the powdered sugar, half and half and marshmallow flavoring until well incorporated.
2
|
Using the bottom of a spoon or other utensil, poke a hole in the middle of each cupcake, about ¾ down. Add the marshmallow fluff filling to the cupcake injector. Carefully inject the filling into the middle of each cupcake.
Directions for Frosting
1
|
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter, and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract. Mix in the marshmallow cream until smooth and creamy.
2
|
Slowly mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, while adding a bit of the half and half or milk in between each cup. Continue to mix for 1 minute or until creamy.
3
|
Evenly divide the frosting into 6 containers. Add in one of each color of the food coloring, 1-2 drops at a time to each container (red to one, orange to the next, etc.). Mix until desired color is achieved.
4
|
Add each color to its own small piping bag until you have 6 bags of frosting in a rainbow of colors. Tear off a sheet of plastic wrap about 18-22” long. Pipe a 1-2” wide strip of frosting up the plastic wrap. They should be about 12-15” long. Repeat until you have a strip for each color.
5
|
Now you are carefully going to roll the frosting, moving from side to side, starting with the red, so you have a log of rainbow frosting. Make sure it is nice and firm but don’t squeeze it, so they are mushed together! Twist the ends together.
6
|
Snip one twisted end off and insert into your large, prepared piping bag. You may want to squeeze a bit onto some plastic wrap until you see the rainbow colors come out before frosting the cupcakes. Frost your cupcakes and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Marshmallow Filling Technique 💉Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a long narrow tip to inject marshmallow creme precisely into the center of each cupcake, ensuring even distribution without tearing the cake.
- Box Mix Enhancement 🥄Replace water in the box cake mix with half and half to create a richer, more tender cupcake texture with enhanced flavor and moisture.
- Filling Stability Trick 🧊Chill the marshmallow creme for 15-20 minutes before filling to improve its piping consistency and prevent messy, runny injections.
- Flavor Depth Hack 💡Add a few drops of Lorann marshmallow flavoring to both the cake batter and filling for an intensified, authentic marshmallow profile that elevates the entire dessert.
- Decorative Finish 🎨Use gel food coloring sparingly in your frosting to create beautiful, vibrant swirls that add visual appeal without compromising the frosting's texture.
