Peep cupcakes - super easy and SO cute. Make whatever flavor cupcakes you want, mine are lemon. I frosted them with marshmallow buttercream, topped each one with a bunny Peep and a few shreds of candy "grass" (comes in a bag, should be able to find now at the grocery or craft store).
How can you not smile looking at these little cuties?
To make marshmallow buttercream frosting I just add one small jar of marshmallow fluff to my normal buttercream recipe which is:
1 stick of softened butter (if using unsalted butter add a pinch of salt to the frosting)
3 - 3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
enough milk to give the consistency I want, maybe 2-3 tablespoons. I don't measure, just pour in a tiny bit at a time.
Beat the butter until smooth, add remaining ingredients with enough milk to make firm spreadable frosting. Then blend in the jar of fluff. So good!
