Looking for a quick and easy way to dress up your cupcakes for Mardi Gras? If you have a Mardi Gras party coming up and don’t have time to make a King Cake – although here is a really easy one – you can still be the hit of the party.
You’ll need:
- Cupcakes- any flavor! Topped with White icing (or any color, really)
- Yellow, Green, and Purple Peeps (pink looks great, too).
Instructions:
- Make some cupcakes with white icing (or buy some) and buy some Peeps in Mardi Gras colors.
- Separate the peeps and stick them into the icing on top of each cupcake!
Aren’t they cute?? LOVE IT. I bet you could do this for an Easter party as well!

Me too and I got some really cool ones this year!

These are so cute, and super easy! Great idea!
Kelli
Thank you!

Very good idea. Some members of my family would skip the cake and just eat the Peeps.

You must have a peeps store in your neighborhood….I haven’t seen any in our markets. 🙂
Kelli
My secret is that sometimes I order them directly from the Peeps company – I love Peeps! 🙂
Liz
What a great idea, Kelli! My family loves both cupcakes AND Peeps 🙂
Kelli
Thanks!
