    1 box Cake mix

    2 tubs White frosting
  • Once the cake is frosted, take the marshmallows and start placing them on the top edge, making 2-3 rows. This will create the top of the head. Make sure on each side to leave a small space where you would like to place the ears.
    1 bag Medium Marshmallows
  • Following the shape of the cake, place a single row of marshmallows to finish the face. You can alternate using both medium and small marshmallows.
  • Once you have your desired thickness for the shape of the face, continue with the marshmallows on the side of the cake.
    1 bag Medium Marshmallows
  • Once you have the desired amount of marshmallow coverage, take one marshmallow and cut it in half from one corner of the marshmallow to the other corner. This should give you two diamond shaped halves.
  • On a small plate or even a paper towel, place a small mound of Pink sugar Crystals. Dip the diamond halves in the crystals making sure you are putting the sticky marshmallow side down.
