RECIPE: Spring Time Peep Cake

Perfect for Easter or Any Time!

By Macaroni KID April 16, 2025

We made this cute cake for Easter last year and it was a big hit with kids and adults!

What You'll Need

  • Box cake mix (and ingredients called for on box)

  • Food coloring

  • Frosting (homemade or store-bought)

  • Bunny Peeps in assorted colors

  • Jelly beans, candy-coated chocolate eggs, or any other cake decorations you desire!

How To Do It

  • Mix and bake the cake as directed on the box.

  • Separate batter to make two 8" or 9" round cakes.

  • Color each layer of cake with food coloring (we did one blue and one green).

  • Bake cake as directed and let cool.

  • Layer cakes on top of each other with a layer of frosting in between. (You may need to cut off the top of the bottom layer so the top one lays flat.)

  • Cover the entire cake with frosting.

  • Place alternating colored Peeps around the sides of the cake.

  • Decorate the top of the cake with the remaining candy treats.

  • Enjoy!
