Peeps cupcakes

Confession: The weather is 13 degrees Fahrenheit in Meadville, Pennsylvania, and according to weather.com it feels like 1°. But it’s March 5, and today I saw the robins.

Here’s a sweet idea for welcoming spring.

Your favorite cupcake recipe + green-tinted frosting + sugared marshmallow Peeps = kiddo happiness, big time.

Pretty self-explanatory, really.

If you have more patience than I (or less cupcakes) you could make proper grass with stars. I did a star tip swirl instead: five seconds per cupcake.

Enjoy!

Do you make food that looks like spring? I want more ideas!

A few drops of green color in shredded coconut makes a kind of grass-like cake topping. Stick it on with some frosting. For these, you could try rolling just the edges of the cupcake in it, to give a place for the Peep to stick.

Pardon me as I hurl. Looks great until you get to the peeps.

I’d remove my peep too…but what fun for the kids!

They are awfully cute, but I’m with Travis on the taste of the peeps. 🙂 But we’ve had hurling at our house lately anyway. So what do I know?

I like the looks of these especially since they’re not too labor intensive. Kmart has/had tulip shaped cupcake liners – bright spring colors with deep scalloped edges. I can see these cupcakes nestled in those! Jolynn

Aww, so cute. I like them, peeps & all. My dad loves these peeps right from the freezer. It was always special when he brought them home around spring/Easter time.

These are fun! I think the recipe we used when I was a child involved peanut butter but I couldn’t find that one.

We do a sunflower cake with peeps every year, but the cupcakes look easier and so colorful! Maybe I will break with tradition this spring.
