First prepare the chocolate cake recipe as per the instructions on that recipe post but bake the batter into cupcakes, they will bake for approximately 18-22 minutes or when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean

While the cupcakes are cooling make the marshmallow mugs by carefully cutting the candy canes to make the mug handle *see video

Use the broken candy cane pieces to crush up for the garnish on each cupcake

Melt the vegan white chocolate and then attache thee mug handle to each marshmallow

Next make the buttercream recipe according to the instructions on that recipe post and add 1-2 teaspoons of mint extract at the last stage of mixing *to taste

Next make the fudge icing according to that recipe post

Stuff the cupcakes with the mint buttercream and also pipe the "cream" on top of each marshmallow mug to look like a mug topped with whipped cream

Pipe the fudge icing onto each cupcake and then place the marshmallow mug on each one, sprinkle with the crushed candy cane powder
