How To Make Peep Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Peep Easter Bunny Cupcakes are actually really easy to make, which I love for a dessert. I used a white cake mix for the cupcakes. First, make your cupcakes according to the package directions and then let cool. Make a cream cheese frosting made from butter, cream cheese, vanilla, salt and powdered sugar (full recipe below). Next, frost the cupcakes with a butter knife. Make the grass by adding the coconut to a plastic sandwich bag and adding green and yellow food coloring. Seal the bag and mix with your hands until the coconut turns a grass green. Lastly, stick a toothpick or short skewer stick into the bottom of a peep and then push into the top of a cupcake. Repeat for all cupcakes!

 

How cute are these cupcakes?! I couldn’t get over how fun they were to make too! The kids were super excited to find these cupcakes waiting in the fridge after school. These make for a really fun playdate treat, office party dessert or serve on Easter!
