Ingredients

18 1/4 oz. white cake mix , or scratch cake ingredients
white frosting
coconut, grated
green food coloring
marshmallow peeps, yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender
peeps jelly beans , or Teenee Beanee Gourmet Jelly Beans

Instructions

Bake cupcakes as per directions on box 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.
