Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners and set it aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set it aside
- Using a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla and eggs until well incorporated.
- Slowly add the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the prepared liners between ½ - ⅔ full.
- Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until the tops of the cupcakes spring back. Remove the cupcakes and allow them to completely cool.
- Using a small mixing bowl and a handheld mixer set on medium, cream the butter until smooth, about 1 minutes.
- Lower the mixer speed to low and add ½ of the powdered sugar, beat well, then add the remaining powdered sugar. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for an additional 1 minute, or until the butter mixture is smooth.
- Lower the mixer speed to low and add the marshmallow cream. Keeping the mixer speed on low, beat just until the mixture is combined.
- Using a quart size ziploc bag, add the filling. Be sure to squeeze out any excess air, and seal the bag.
- Once the cupcakes have completely cooled, use a sharp knife or a cupcake corer, and cut a circle about the size of a quarter in the top center of the cupcake. You can trim away the excess cupcake from the circle.
- Snip a small corner of the filling bag. Insert the snipped corner into the cupcake and fill the hollowed cupcake just almost to the top. Replace the cupcake cap and repeat the process until all the cupcakes are filled.
- Pour the heavy cream into a heat safe measuring cup and microwave for 30 - 40 seconds.
- Add the chocolate chips to a small heat safe bowl. Pour the heated heavy cream over the chocolate chips and allow it to sit for 1 - 1 ½ minutes. Stir well until all the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Evenly spoon and spread ½ - ¾ teaspoon of the mixture on top of the filled cupcakes. Allow the frosted cupcakes to sit and allow the chocolate to sit.
- Using a small mixing bowl and a handheld mixer on medium speed, cream the butter for about 1 minute, or until smooth.
- Add the vanilla and continue mixing for another 10 - 15 seconds.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix for 30 seconds. It will resemble white sand.
- Add the milk and increase the mixer speed to medium. Mix for 1 minute, or until the mixture is smooth.
- Using either a ziploc bag with a small corner snipped off, or a decorators bag fitted with a #5 decorators tip, fill with the icing.
- Hold the tip of the bag ¼ to ½ inch above the cupcake, and using even steady pressure, pipe a swirling loop pattern down the center of the cupcake. Repeat the process until all cupcakes are topped.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F (148°C) and prepare a cupcake pan with liners.
- Add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- Whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla in another medium-sized bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Add the water to the batter and mix until well combined. The batter will be very thin.
- Fill the cupcake liners a little more than half way and bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- When the cupcakes are cool, make the filling. Add the butter to a mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
- Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. It may take a few minutes to incorporate, but it will.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Add the marshmallow creme and stir until well combined.
- To fill the cupcakes, cut out the centers of the cupcakes. You can use a cupcake corer or a knife.
- Fill the centers of the cupcakes with the filling and replace the core of the cupcake that you removed on top of the filling. I cut a little bit of the core off before placing it back on top, since there's a filling there now and you don't need all of that cake core.
- To make the chocolate ganache topping, add the chocolate chips to a medium sized bowl.
- Heat the heavy whipping cream just until it begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate ganache onto the top of each cupcake, all the way to the edges. If it starts to cool and get a bit firm, heat it back up for 5-10 seconds, until spreadable again.
- To make the icing for decorating on top, beat the butter in a mixer bowl until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until evenly combined. It'll be lumpy and dry.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until everything comes together and smooths out.
- Pipe the loop design on top of each cupcake using a small round tip. I used Wilton tip 3.
- Refrigerate the cupcakes until ready to serve. Serve cool but not cold.

Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350. Place paper liners in two 12-cup muffin pans.
- Prepare the cupcakes: Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Bring the sugar and 1 cup water to a boil in a saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Pour into a large bowl; add the chocolate and butter and let sit, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture has cooled slightly. Stir in the vanilla. Using a mixer, beat in the eggs, then mix in the dry ingredients.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans (about 1/4 cup batter per cupcake) and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pans for about 25 minutes, then transfer cupcakes to a rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling: Using a mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Beat in 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar. Add the vanilla and 1 tablespoon heavy cream; beat until smooth. Beat in the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons heavy cream in batches, alternating after each addition. Beat in the marshmallow creme; set aside.
- Prepare the ganache: Place the chocolate in a stainless-steel bowl. Heat the cream and 1 tablespoon butter until just boiling, then pour over the chocolate; let stand for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla; let stand until cool but still glossy and liquid.
- Spoon the filling into a pastry bag with a medium tip. Insert the tip into the center of each cupcake top; fill until the cupcake is heavier (do not overfill). Dip the cupcake tops in the ganache. Chill for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the icing: Using a mixer, beat the remaining 1 stick butter, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, the milk and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spoon into a pastry bag with a small tip; pipe onto the cupcakes to decorate.

- Mix cupcake batter. Prepare the cake mix according to the package’s directions for cupcakes. Let your kids practice scooping and measuring the ingredients.
- Bake cupcakes. Line a standard muffin pan with cupcake liners. This is a great activity for toddlers! Ask them to count and practice their numbers as they place each liner in the muffin tray.
- Prepare creme filling. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the filling. Begin by dissolving the salt in two teaspoons of hot water. Then in a large bowl, fold together the marshmallow creme, shortening, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.
- Make chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy cream to a light boil. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a medium bowl and whisk until chocolate is melted, smooth and glossy.
- Fill cupcakes. Snip the corner of a gallon-size plastic bag and insert a round pastry tip. Fill the bag with the creme filling and then gently press the tip into the center of each cupcake.
- Dip in ganache. Once filled, carefully dip the top of each cupcake in the partially cooled ganache. Gently shake and twirl the cupcakes upside down after dipping to let excess chocolate drip away.
- Add the Hostess swirl. While the chocolate ganache sets, whisk together the vanilla icing ingredients. The icing should be thick enough that it holds its shape once piped.
