Method
 

Cereal Milk Preparation
  1. To make the cereal milk, add the milk and Lucky Charms to a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes. Strain the milk and discard the cereal.
Cupcake Preparation
  1. Prepare a cupcake pan with cupcake liners and preheat the oven to 350?F (176?C).
  2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, add the butter, sugar, and oil and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Add the vanilla extract with the second egg. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.
  6. Slowly add the cereal milk and mix until well combined.
  7. Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  8. Fill the cupcake liners about 3/4 full and bake for 14-16 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove cupcakes from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool.
Filling Preparation
  1. To make the filling, add the butter to a mixer bowl and beat until smooth.
  2. Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add the marshmallow cream and stir until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the Lucky Charms marshmallows.
  6. Cut out the centers of the cupcakes using a cupcake corer or a knife.
  7. Fill the centers of the cupcakes with the filling, then spread some additional filling over the top of the cupcake.
  8. Turn the cupcake over and press it into a bowl of the chopped-up Lucky Charms cereal. Set cupcakes aside.
Frosting Preparation
  1. To make the frosting, add the butter and shortening to a mixer bowl and beat until well combined.
  2. Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and salt and mix until well combined.
  4. Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. Add some of the leftover cereal milk if needed for the right consistency.
  5. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes, leaving the edges exposed to show the Lucky Charms cereal. Top each cupcake with a Lucky Charms cereal marshmallow.
  6. Cupcakes are best if served the same day.
