Ingredients

  • 2 dozen white cupcakes unfrosted
  • 1 can vanilla frosting
  • Blue food coloring
  • 24 Peeps Bunnies
  • Small zippered bag
  • Toothpicks
  • Wilton 1M Open Star Piping Tip
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Start off by preparing your cupcakes first. If you have a favorite bakery cupcakes that you want to use, feel free to use those. Or you can make your own using your preferred white cupcake recipe or you can also use a cake mix from the store. It's totally up to you. Follow the directions according to the recipe you are using.
  • Once the cupcakes are out of the oven, start making the frosting. In a medium-sized bowl, add the store-bought frosting in the bowl and add 2 to 3 drop of the food coloring at a time until after stirring, you get the color you desire.
  • After you get the color you desire, add the tip to the bottom of the piping bag and snip off the bottom of the bag. Then fill the piping bag with the frosting.
  • Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes.
  • Next, turn the peep over and insert a toothpick into the bottom of the Peeps Bunny for stability. Then place the Peeps bunny in the center of the frosted cupcake. 
  •  Add sprinkles or other toppings to the top of the frosting. Enjoy!
