Test the cupcakes for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cupcakes are done. Cool Completely.

- Next add the peanut butter and incorporate into the butter, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar, 2 cups at a time, adding the heavy cream and vanilla intermittently, mixing on low speed until it's incorporated into the butter. Then increase the speed to high and beat for 30-60 seconds. Repeat until all your powdered sugar has been added.
- Lastly, add the marshmallow crème and beat until it's well incorporated. Use a large piping bag fitted with a large open round piping tip to decorate these cupcakes.
- Use a cupcake cupcake corer and take the top half of the center of your cupcakes out.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prepare all ingredients and equipment. This will ensure a smooth baking process.
- Properly Measure Flour: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure flour. Scooping flour directly from the bag can result in too much flour, leading to dense cupcakes.
- Cream Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter texture. Creaming for at least 2-3 minutes is recommended.
- Gradually Add Eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
- Do Not Overmix: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use Fresh Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Old baking agents may not react properly, affecting the rise of the cupcakes.
- Fill Cupcake Liners Only ⅔ Full: This allows the cupcakes to rise properly without overflowing.
- Bake Cupcakes in the Center of the Oven: This ensures even baking.
- Cool Cupcakes Completely Before Frosting: This prevents the frosting from melting and sliding off the cupcakes.
- Make Frosting Ahead of Time: Frosting can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using.
