Easter Peeps Cupcakes Recipe
Easter Peeps Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients
- 16.25 oz Betty Crocker White Cake Mix {1 box}
- 1 cup Water
- 1/2 cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
- 3 Egg Whites
- 2 cups Cream Cheese Frosting {Buttercream frosting can be substituted}
- 10+ drops Green Food Coloring to tint frosting {Green food coloring gel can be substituted}
- 24 Easter Bunny Peeps
Instructions
- Add white cupcake liners to cupcake pans, and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees for aluminum cupcake pan or 325 for nonstick cupcake pan.
- In large mixing bowl, mix together cake mix, oil, water, and egg whites until well combined. {about 2 minutes} Then carefully spoon into cupcake liners about 2/3 full.
- Bake for 14 - 19 minutes, or until done. Then transfer cupcakes to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are baking, go whip up some Cream Cheese Frosting and tint it green with food coloring drops or gel.
- Place the frosting in the refrigerator until youâre ready to use, then rewhip just before using.
- Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, insert the chilled icing into your pastry bag {or ziploc}, attach the Wilton Grass Tip #233 and Coupler, squeeze a bit out to get out any air bubbles, and youâre ready to frost!
- Practice a bit on an âexperimentalâ cupcake first⌠youâll get the hang of it in no time! I like to gently press while pulling up to create the 'grass' look. Just remember⌠grass isnât perfect, so your cupcakes donât have to be either!
- After youâve frosted your cupcakes, go grab your Peeps Bunnies and one by one, gently insert a toothpick at the bottom center piece of their body. Ouch! đ
- Now, just pop the toothpick down into the center of the grassy cupcake, and youâre done! Wasnât that easy??

Sherry says
I did a ‘trial’ run last week for the Big Easter dinner…found out that ‘regular’ toothpicks just didn’t seem to cut it for me, but kebob skewers worked great and I got 2-3 ‘sticks’ out of each one, plus there big enough not to get lost…I was REALLY lazy and picked up green tinted buttercream already at the cake shop…slam, bam done in under an hour or so…I picked up some cheap chocolate easter candy tiny eggs to put on the cupcakes for Easter dinner as add’l decorations today…I think they’ll work beautifully!

Thanks for such cute cupcake idea. I am a class mom for my Kindergartener and I will be making these for the Easter Class Party…I know these will be a winner !!
Julie says
Just made these – so cute! Thank you for the idea! Kind of a silly question, as I am new to baking – Does the icing need to be refrigerated or are these okay to leave out overnight?
Thanks!
Lena says
They turned out super cute!!! Just modified them a bit: instead of using a peep bunny with a tooth-pick, I just smushed a chick peep in the “grass” since I don’t trust my junior high students with sharp pointy things. They LOVED them!!!
Andrea D says
Can you make these the day before or will the peeps get hard? Would covering them help or would the cupcakes get soggy
Sherry says
I just put them under a cake dome…I have cats.
Patty Edmonson says
These are so cute and I am sure will be fun for me and my grandaughter to make. TY!!
Cheryl says
How cute!! Love them! Think I’ll try them with the chicken peeps as well. Thank you so much for the great, clear directions.
Gena B says
Those are so stinkin’ cute! I always have a million Peeps lying around before, during and after Easter and now I have something to do with them besides eat them straight outta the package! =)
Heidi says
Thanks, Gena! Have fun making your cupcakes!!

Michelle says
I’m making these today for my mom’s birthday but adding lemon filling on the inside for a sweet surprise.
Heidi says

Kate says

Corrie says
So cute!! Love it I’m gonna make them too!!
erin says
I am going to try these, but am going to use dyed coconut for the grass instead and chocolate cupcakes like they are dirt! fun times!
Heidi says
Fun idea, Erin! I love coconut grass, too!
~ Heidi
Debbie says
I bet the chick peeps would be adorable also! I might just make some of these for the kids at church.
Patti says
what a cute idea. Not only for Easter, but I can see making variations appropriate for other holidays (they do make “peeps style” marshmallow turkeys and Christmas trees, for example).
Heidi says
Great idea, Patti! I’ll have to keep my eye out for those!
~ Heidi
Stacy says

Brenda Holmes says
Thanks for the awesome idea for Bunny Cupcakes. I cannot wait to make them with my grandaughters…Getting the icing recipe is a super bonus too..I have been wanting a good icing recipe for so long…I don’t like using the ready made icings.
Nancy says
The Wilton recipe is a nofail… I have used the same recipe since I was about 16 and well thats 20+ years ago. However it is sweet. If you use the basic recipe and add some peanutbutter it is totally awesome
jabreu says
this is perfect for my daughters class party! thanks
Sandy Stimers says
All ingredients bought. So excited to make them with my daughter and grandkids. Bought a cupcake stand a Walmart to display them on. Taking them to an Easter Egg hunt for a snack.
