Other ways to get involved:

 

In recent years, KitchenAid has partnered with Villeroy & Boch to create Pass the Plate. Pass the Plate is a ceramic serving platter with charming artwork created by PBS cooking show host Jacques Pépin. The plate is meant to be passed along to friends and family along with a culinary specialty prepared by the giver. Once the plate is passed, the recipient is then asked to do the same. Every time the plate is passed and registered, KitchenAid will donate $5 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

 

KitchenAid has created Cook for the Cure Party Kits! These kits are funded by KitchenAid to encourage consumers to host their own Cook for the Cure fundraiser. Get more info here.

 

KitchenAid also hosts cooking classes, auctions and special events where 100 percent of the money raised goes straight to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Pink Sno Ball Cupcakes

Makes 18 cupcakes 

Equipment

• Makes 18 cupcakes

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 1 box of Devil's Food Cake Mix
• Ingredients from the back of the cake box eggs, oil, and water
• For the marshmallow frosting and filling:
• 7 oz jar of marshmallow fluff
• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla

For the topping:

• 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
• pink icing food coloring

Instructions

• Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and preheat oven to 375.
• Mix batter and bake cupcakes according to the box instructions.
• Remove from oven and let cool completely.
• For the frosting, mix all four ingredients in a mixer bowl on medium until mixed well and incorporated. Fill a piping bag with a frosting tip or a large freezer baggie with the corner cut off with a scoop
• of the frosting. Set aside.
• For the coconut topping: in a large freezer size baggie add shredded coconut.
• Add a few drops of pink food coloring (I like icing coloring since it is brighter and thicker).
• Seal and shake the bag until all the coconut is pink. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
• Once the cupcakes have cooled, use a apple corer or a piping bag tip to cut a circle in the middle of each cupcake and remove and discard the center.
• Use your piping bag and pipe marshmallow into the center.
• You can continue to swirl and pipe frosting on top or I prefer to use a small ice cream scoop and add a scoop of marshmallow frosting on top, so it looks more like a traditional snowball.
• Now carefully dip each cupcake, frosting side down in the bowl of pink coconut, so the top is coated in coconut.
• Repeat with remaining cupcakes.

Notes

Note on the filling: I tried to recreate a cream filling like the traditional snack cake and to me nothing tasted as good as the gooey marshmallow topping. So I decided to both fill and top my cupcakes with marshmallow frosting. However, you can fill your cupcakes with a cream filling, pudding, or a buttercream icing if you'd like.
