Easter Peep Cake My Way

Have you seen all the different ways on the web and mainly Pinterest you can make a “Peep” cake using the classic Marshmallow Treat, Peeps? Love.them. Here is my version of a Easter Peep Cake.
You have many different ways you can use these little guys in with your Easter Treats. I’m going to show you my way. It’s so…..Easter, right?

My Way
With my way, it’s all simple of course! Just bake a cake…my way….box mix. You need to frost that cake…my way…frosting from the store. You decorate that cake with Peeps and M&Ms…my way…from the store. Can it get any easier to have a cake that looks like you spent literally hours on and one that looks so artistic as well? Don’t think so.
Any wouldn’t this be a hit at your kids school party, or an office party…even better..how about church? For me…this is made to be in my house for us to eat. What? Ok, I do plan on taking some to my neighbors. I can share. A little.

What are you making as your Easter Goody this year?
