How to Make Easter Marshmallow Peeps Cake. This Cake starts with a box mix , butter cream frosting, coconut , malted eggs and of course peeps. So easy and so good.
Making this cake was so much fun. It was relatively easy as I started with a boxed cake mix. Although, I also enjoyed making The Best Easter Dirt Cake and Easy to Make Easter Bunny Butt Cake . This cake was definitely the most colorful and I was really pleased with how it came out .
You definitely could use any cake mix. However , I went with a yellow cake to keep with the spring Easter color theme.
Using canned frosting would be a great short cut for this cake.
Another Great Option Would be Jelly Beans or Chocolate Foil Eggs, or I have also seen Gum Balls that look like Eggs.
This cake is going to be the perfect dessert for our Easter Dinner. It would also work perfect for a pot luck or dish to pass event. You will be a hit I'm sure.
