    How to Make Easy Peep Cupcakes

     Cupcakes

    1. Bake cupcakes according to box directions.
    2. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
    3. Once the cupcakes are cooled, make your frosting or use 2 tubs of frosting and color with food coloring as you wish. If you are using frosting already prepared, mix it up well using an offset spatula or spoon. I like to microwave it for 15-20 seconds to make it even smoother when piping or frosting. Then place whatever frosting you like to color, like pastel colors for spring/Easter.
    4. Pipe or frost cupcakes with frosting.

    Homemade Frosting or use 2 Tubs of prepared store-bought Frosting

    1. Cream butter in a medium bowl
    2. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, and milk as needed, until everything is incorporated and frosting is right consistency.
    3. Divide into equal size batches of the number of colors desired and add several drops of color to each.
    4. Transfer icing to piping bag or to a zippered bag and clip corner.
    5. Pipe icing onto cupcakes and top with Peep Bunnies!  Add sprinkles!
