Vanilla Bean Cupcakes are easy to prepare and tastes so light, moist and yummy. I covered these cupcakes with a vanilla bean frosting and topped with a decorative delicious homemade marshmallow fondant.

These Vanilla Bean Cupcakes decorated with homemade marshmallow fondant are not only pretty, they are super delicious. The vanilla bean greatly enhances the flavor of these super tasty cupcakes.

My Homemade Marshmallow Fondant tastes amazing, not like the store bought stuff. I usually peel the store bought stuff off cakes and throw it out.
