The ultimate s’mores cupcake is made with graham cracker crust and spiked marshmallow filling. Don’t worry, I didn’t come up with this recipe! Long time followers of my blog know that I am not a baker. While I love to cook, I just can’t bake. I recently stumbled upon this recipe during a Cupcakes and Cocktails cooking class at The Epicurean hotel in Tampa, FL.

When I first started blogging I had high hopes about recipe creation. I won a recipe contest early on in my blogging career so I got a little cocky, only to realize that I suck at baking. It’s true, I couldn’t bake if my life were depending on it.

Lucky for me, I was able to experience a Cupcakes and Cocktails class at The Epicurean in Tampa, FL as part of a hosted stay when I judged the Epic Chef Competition. BTW- how awesome is it to be able to judge a food competition? I’m pretty sure I could die happy now.

You can read all about the Cupcakes and Cocktails class here where I give my honest review about cooking classes. Spoiler alert: I love them.

S’mores Cupcakes with Graham Cracker Crust and Spiked Marshmallow Filling

I promised to share all of the recipes here on my blog with the permission of Beth Luken, the creative genius and owner of Cloud 9 Confections. This particular one was amazing because it was super chocolatey without being too much. The spiked marshmallow filling really made the recipe!

I have to admit that I got tired just typing out all the ingredients and instructions for this cupcake. You may find this recipe on my blog, but I’m more likely to ask Beth to make these for me than attempt it myself.

If you love baking, this is definitely worth a try!

  5. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.

  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer beat the butter, marshmallow cream, vanilla, whipping cream and vodka on medium speed until completely smooth. 

  2. Add 3/4 cup powdered sugar and the salt. 

  3. Mix at low speed, then increase the speed to high and beat for 1 minute. 

  4. If it looks too thin, add 1/4 C more powdered sugar. Refrigerate the filling until ready to use. 

Milk Chocolate Frosting

  1. Sift together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to assure there are no lumps. Set aside. 

  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy- about 2 minutes. 

  3. Gradually add the sifted sugar/ cocoa powder alternating with the heavy cream and vodka. Beat on low speed after each addition.

  4. Once all has been added, beat on high speed until creamy and combined for at least 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to use. 

Topping

  1. Turn the oven to the broil setting on low. 

  2. Line a baking sheet with foil and line up the marshmallows in rows.

  3. Place on the top rack of the oven and watch until browned. A baking torch can also be used.

    When you say “whipped vodka” do you mean whipped cream flavored vodka?
