Ingredients:

Cake mix or scratch cake ingredients (your choice)
white frosting
grated coconut
green food coloring
Marshmallow Peeps® (yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender)
Peeps Jelly Beans, or Teenee Beanee® Gourmet Jelly Beans.

Bake cupcakes and frost. Color grated coconut with green food coloring. Top with Marshmallow Peeps® (one sits perfectly on a cupcake) and add a few Peeps Jelly Beans or Teenee Beanee® Gourmet Jelly Beans (they make great eggs). (Note: If you don't like coconut, use green sugar sprinkles. You don't get the same "grass" effect as the coconut, but you might like the taste better).

Another option is to pipe a "nest" of green icing to encircle the top and place a Peep in the center. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles for a finishing touch.

Marshmallow Bunny Patch Cake

Ingredients:

Cake mix or scratch cake ingredients (your choice)
white frosting
grated coconut
green food coloring
blue sugar sprinkles
Marshmallow Bunnies (yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender)
Teenee Beanee® Gourmet Jelly Beans
Peeps Jelly Beans,or Just Born® Jelly Beans.

Bake cake and frost. Color grated coconut with green food coloring. Decorate like a Bunny Patch. Sprinkle blue sugar for the sky, add the dyed green grated coconut for the grass and place several Marshmallow Bunnies in the grass, surrounded by a few Teenee Beanee® Gourmet Jelly Beans, Peeps Jelly Beans, or Just Born® Jelly Beans as Easter Eggs.

(Note: If you don't like coconut, use green sugar sprinkles. You don't get the same "grass" effect as the coconut, but you might like the taste better).



Kim's note: Tint a small amount of white icing with blue food coloring, then put into a plastic baggie. Snip a tiny bit of the corner of the baggie, then squeeze frosting out to decorate cake. Very easy to clean up afterwards!

Easter Basket Cake
Turn an oval or round cake into a charming Easter basket by icing the sides in a basket-weave pattern, and topping it off with your favorite Marshmallow Peeps® and Bunnies. Then scatter Peeps Jelly Beans for a festive touch.
