Servings: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 1 box white or vanilla cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box (eggs, water and oil)
- food coloring gel pink, yellow, blue, and green
- 12 Peeps Marshmallow Bunnies
- 1 can white or vanilla frosting
- Easter sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a muffin pan with 12 paper liners.
- Prepare cake mix according to box directions.
- Divide the cake batter into 3 equal portions. Add a few drops of food coloring gel to each bowl. Stir well until combined and desired color is reached.
- Use a spoon to drop spoonfuls of each cake batter color onto each muffin liner. Drop one color at a time, leaving a little space between the colors, then repeat with remaining batters until each cupcake liner is covered. Make another layer until you've used all the cake batter. The batter will almost reach the top of the liner.
- Bake according to box instructions or until a tooth pick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool completely.
- While the cupcakes cool, in a small bowl, add the frosting and a few drops of green food gel. Mix until combined and desired shade of green is reached. Add frosting to a piping bag with a large star tip and place in the refrigerator until cupcakes have cooled.
- Swirl on frosting and add a Peeps Marshmallow Bunny to the top of each cupcake and decorate with sprinkles. Serve and enjoy!
