11 Super Cute Easter Peeps Cakes
But you know what’s better than eating Peeps? Getting to both decorate and eat them! Yes, the crafts are cute, but I know that my kids would be much happier if I use these iconic marshmallows as a garnish for something edible.
And that’s fine by me! Making a plain cake look stunning couldn’t be easier with these fun treats on hand.
Don’t Forget These Essentials:
We all want our cakes to make everyone “oooh” and “ahhh.” So, you’ll want to make sure you have the right tools to make and display your cake perfectly:
- parchment paper to keep your cake from sticking to the pan
- offset spatulas to spread your frosting
- piping tips if you really want to get fancy
- a cake stand to display your show stopper,
- your pie server and a good knife, and
- plenty of colorful Peeps, of course!
