Marshmallow Peeps Cupcakes

No Photo

Ingredients

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box white cake mix* or scratch cake ingredients (your choice)
  • White frosting
  • Grated coconut
  • Green food coloring
  • Marshmallow Peeps (yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender)
  • Peeps Jelly Beans or Teenee Beanee Gourmet Jelly Beans

Instructions

  1. Bake cupcakes as per directions on box and frost.
  2. Color grated coconut with green food coloring. Top with Marshmallow Peeps (one sits perfectly on a cupcake) and add a few Peeps Jelly Beans or Teenee Beanee Gourmet Jelly Beans (they make great eggs). (Note: If you don't like coconut, use green sugar sprinkles. You don't get the same grass effect as the coconut, but you might like the taste better).
  3. Another option is to pipe a "nest" of green icing to encircle the top and place a Peep in the center. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles for a finishing touch.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
