Easter Peep Cupcakes

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Prepare cake mix according to box directions, using the water, oil, and eggs. Line cupcake tin with wrappers and fill each wrapper 2/3 full with batter. Bake 15-18 minutes at 350ºF (or as directed in the cake mix package).

Allow cupcakes to cool completely. While cooling, tint frosting green using food coloring. Add a few drops coloring and mix in a bowl until it reaches the desired shade of green.

Place bowl of green sugar nearby for decorating, gather Easter peeps, and open the M&Ms.

When cupcakes are cool, frost generously. No one likes skimpy icing. Roll edges in green sugar, and place 2-3 “eggs” on top. Dab the bottom of the peep with icing and place her on top of her eggs.

Arrange on a cupcake stand or on a plate.

Note: Another great option is to tint shredded coconut green, and make a “nest” on top of cupcake for the peep. I avoid coconut because my munchkins won’t eat it.

Enjoy!
