    These Easter Peeps Cupcakes are so adorable and so easy to make. Like most of the cupcakes, I have shared in the past. They start with a boxed cake mix. I love shortcuts. A few of the others I have shared are Lucky Cupcakes With Irish Cream Frosting,Easy Cherry Coke Cupcakes From Box Mix Recipe, and Best Raspberry Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes.

    Could A Different Kind of Cake Mix Be Used?

    Yes, I used the white cake, however, use the flavor of your choice.

    Can You Make Homemade Cupcakes?

    Sure nothing like cake from scratch.

    Are There Other Frosting Options?

    Yes, I used Buttercream but you could use cream cheese frosting or even buy a can of store-bought frosting.

    How Should You Store Cupcakes?

    They will keep on the counter for 3-4 days. Cover them with foil or put in an airtight container.
