Holidays are my “cheat days.” When you’re surrounded by friends, family, flowing champagne, & unhealthy, sugar-filled food, it’s nice to indulge a bit [ that doesn’t mean stuff your face till you’re sick- moderation is key ]. Since Easter is this Sunday I spent the past weekend testing out potential festive recipes. These yellow cupcakes topped with fluffy marshmallow chicks [ PEEPS!!! ] are easy to whip together & entirely Easter-appropriate. Also, my cupcake carousel was almost too fun to use for transporting the colorful baked goods- check it out below.
+ Serves A LOT!
1 box of yellow cake mix [ I like this one ]
Depending on what cake mix you use, you’ll also need: eggs, water, & oil
Frosting
Sprinkles
Peeps
See directions on cake mix. Bake cupcakes with pretty liners. Remove from oven. Let cool. Add frosting & colorful sprinkles. Then place Peeps on each cupcake.
No way! I wish we could get Peeps in the UK… these are too cute!

Hey!
Lovely post! The weather has been really weird. One day it feels like February, the next like June. It’s foggy in the morning and sweltering in the afternoon. The cherry blossoms bloomed early, and now it’s raining pink petals all over the DC area. So, basically, it’s spring. And that means… time for Peeps!
