24 Frosted cupcakes in fancy foil cupcake liners - I think the cupcakes baked in fancy cupcake wrappers like these foil cupcake liners
24 Marshmallows
1 cup Water
4 oz. Sugar Crystals

Frost your cupcakes after they have completely cooled
Place toothpicks into marshmallows
Pour some water into a small bowl
Dip half of the marshmallow into the bowl of water
Pour some sugar crystals into a small bowl
Immediately roll the wet part into a bowl of pink sugar crystals
Optional: crinkle the cupcake wrapper a little to make the skirt look more realistic. Play around with that idea and see which you like better - crinkled or not
Push the toothpick through the center of an upside-down mini cupcake wrapper until the wrapper meets the marshmallow
Place the end of the toothpick into the cupcake to see your little marshmallow ballerina standing up in the cupcake
It looks cuter when you can see a gap between the skirt and the cupcake. You might need to make some small adjustments to get the toothpick situated just right.

Note:

I found that when I crinkled the cupcake wrapper, it made the skirt look more realistic
