Abba-Zaba-Cadabra!

Last Sunday, I took a trip to Economy Candy to pick up some old-school classic candy. I gave myself an assignment: to find inspiration from and then create a cupcake based on what I had purchased.

One of my items.


The result: Abba Zaba Cupcake. Vanilla Cake, Peanut Butter Filling and Marshmallow Fluff "Taffy," Frosting.

I was pleased with the peanut butter filling, but the frosting isn't quite what I had hoped for. It doesn't have the right consistency. I was hoping for something light and sticky. More like taffy. I think a whipped meringue frosting would have been a better choice.
