Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line the cupcake pan with foil or paper liners.
- Prepare cake mix & bake according to the box's instructions. Let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, to make the frosting, in a large mixing bowl (with a hand mixer) or the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, vanilla, and salt together for 1 minute. Add the powdered sugar and milk and beat for 1 minute, scrape down the sides, remove a ⅓ cup of the frosting, and place in a small bowl. Add the green food coloring (a few drops) to the large bowl and beat for an additional minute.
- Place the green frosting in a piping bag with a grass tip and pipe onto the cupcakes.
- Add the orange food coloring (a few drops) to the reserved frosting and mix until combined. Place the orange frosting in a piping bag with a small round tip and pipe a beak, two dots for eyes, and feet onto Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. Place the eyes on. Add the eggs to the top of each cupcake.
