Spring is in the air! I love these little honey-scented cupcakes. Theyre delightfully old fashioned and absolutely irresistible when spread with a sweet marshmallow icing.
These cupcakes are a bit denser than typical cupcakes, and keep well for a few days after theyre baked. Theyd be great for a Spring bridal or baby shower, or just for a serious honey lover. You can definitely taste the honey in these cupcakes!
I especially love this marshmallow icing. The recipe comes from a cherished recipe box handed down from my great grandmother and is a traditional boiled icing, which just means you make the sugar syrup on the stove before drizzling it into the egg white while beating. The hot sugar syrup cooks the egg white, and after beating on high for about ten minutes, the icing will fluff up like meringue and taste just like marshmallows!
Happy spring!
