How to Make Cupcakes with PEEPS on Top

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a cupcake pan with liners.

Prepare the white cake mix according to the package instructions.

Separate the batter into two bowls. Add the strawberry Jello to one bowl and the berry blue Jello to the second bowl. Stir to mix until the Jello is fully incorporated into the batter.

Fill each cupcake liner around 2/3 full of the cake batter and bake according to the package instructions.

Allow the cupcakes to cool completely, then prepare the icing by beating together the butter and vanilla until smooth and well combined.

Add one cup of powdered sugar and one tablespoon of milk and beat until smooth.

Add two more cups of powdered sugar and one tablespoon of milk and beat.

Then, add the remaining powdered sugar and beat to combine. If the icing is too thick, add more milk as needed.

Separate the icing into two bowls. Add the pink food coloring to one bowl and the blue food coloring to the other bowl. Stir until the colors are fully mixed.

Pipe the pink icing on top of the strawberry cupcakes and the blue icing on top of the blue cupcakes.

Place a pink bunny marshmallow PEEP on top of the pink cupcakes and a blue bunny PEEP on top of the blue cupcakes.
