Ingredients

Cake Mix + Ingredients to make upcake as instructed on cake box directions

  • 1 box cake mix + ingredients required to make cupcakes oil, eggs/egg whites, water

Homemade Frosting or use 2 Tubs of Frosting of choice

  • ½ cup butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk of choice
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Food Coloring if coloring frosting
  • Sprinkles
  • Peeps Chicks or Bunnies

Instructions

Cupcakes:

  • Bake cupcakes according to box directions, making the cake batter, scooping into cupcake liners in a cupcake pan or muffin pan. Once they're baked, transfer to cooling rack to cool.
  • 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.
  • Pipe or frost cupcakes with frosting.

Homemade Frosting or use 2 Tubs of store-bought pre-made frosting

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