Easter Cupcakes - Fun to Share, Fun to Eat!
One of the best things about cupcakes is their shareability.

There is also something more playful about cupcakes, especially as you the baker and decorator. Personally, I feel like the pressure is off with cupcakes and I can approach decorating them with a bit more fun and whimsy. Just so fun. And whether you're handing them out at a neighborhood egg hunt or surprising coworkers with a sweet treat at the office, cupcakes have a magical way of bringing people together and spreading joy. They just do.
The History of Peep Marshmallows
No discussion of Easter sweets would be complete without mentioning Peeps. Peeps to me are like candy corn - bit polarizing in that people either love them or hate them. I have to now admit that I am not a fan of Peeps for eating but for decorating heck yeah. I love them for Easter decorating because they’re just so nostalgic and associated with this holiday and that neon pink and yellow just catches the eye like nothing else, right?. They also, due to the dry nature of themselves lend themselves to being manipulated and coaxed onto the top of a cupcake.
Did you know that these iconic marshmallow treats have been a staple of Easter baskets since the 1950s? Did you also know that Peeps were originally handmade,? Peeps are now produced in mass quantities and come in a variety of colors and flavors. Their popularity has only grown over the years, with creative uses ranging from cake decorations to s'mores toppings. Like Candycorn - Peeps will forever be in our conscious.
