Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
One 15.25-ounce box devil's food cake mix (plus required ingredients)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup marshmallow creme
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon heavy cream
2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
Pink gel food coloring
One .25-ounce envelope unflavored gelatin (2 1/2 teaspoons)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the cake and filling: Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Prepare and bake the devil's food cake according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
  • Combine the butter and marshmallow creme in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Add the confectioners' sugar and heavy cream and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a long thin round tip.
  • Flip the cake so it is flat-side up. Make 12 evenly-spaced holes in the bottom of the cake using a skewer, pressing only halfway down into the cake and wiggling the skewer slightly to widen the holes until they are each about 1 inch wide. Insert the piping tip in each of the holes and pipe in some marshmallow mixture until it starts to ooze out the top of the hole. Flip the cake flat-side down onto a cake stand or serving platter.
  • For the topping: Combine the coconut and confectioners' sugar in a large resealable plastic bag, seal and shake well. Dissolve 5 to 6 drops of food coloring in 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Drizzle the food coloring over the coconut and toss well, massaging the bag with your hands to evenly distribute the color.
  • Combine the gelatin with 6 tablespoons water in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until it reaches 235 to 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Pour the corn syrup mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, along with the vanilla and bloomed gelatin. Whip on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
  • Spread the marshmallow mixture all over the cake with a small offset spatula. Pat the coconut all over the cake. Let sit 30 minutes for the topping to set before serving.

2 cups powdered sugar
red food coloring
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Make the cupcakes:.
  • Heat oven to 350°F; prepare 10 large size muffin tins. I suggest not using paper liners for this. If you do you will have to remove them before frosting.

  • Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  • Beat well.
  • Sift flour with baking powder and soda.
  • Add 1/4 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, then add vanilla and 1/3 of the buttermilk.
  • Repeat, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Scrap well after each addition.
  • Fold in coconut.
  • Pour batter into muffin cups. Bake about 18-20 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool in tins about 5 minutes. Remove and cool completely. If you used paper liners, remove the liners.
  • Make the frosting:.
  • Combine butter, cream cheese, vanilla and sugar in a large bowl and beat until smooth and spreadable. Add a drop of food coloring and blend to make a light pink frosting.
  • To make the snowballs:.
  • When cupcakes are cool, freeze them on parchment paper about 20 minutes.
  • Spread a thick, even layer of frosting all over each cupcake, sides and bottom too.
  • Freeze on parchment again for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 day.
  • Spread a second, thick, even layer of frosting all over them.
  • Sprinkle generously with coconut, about 1/4 cup per snowball.

PINK SNOW BALLS

These delicious decadent snow balls are cake like treats,coated in pink coconut I'm unsure of the origin's of this Pretty in Pink Treat. They resemble whoopie pies: Snow balls are neither a cookie or a pie. They have a soft cake like texture but can be moulded and shaped like scones.
