Instructions

1. Make a batch of cupcakes. 
2. Make a batch of our Best Buttercream Frosting recipe. 
3. Tint the butter cream frosting Pink, Bright Pink and Red. We used Wilton Color Right Food Coloring in the follow formulas: Light Pink (used to frost the cupcakes) - 2 drops of Wilton Color Right Pink Food coloring Medium Pink (used to outline the Peppa Pig Cookie) – 4 drops of Wilton Color Right Pink Food Coloring Red (used for Peppa Pig’s mouth, cheek, and nose) – 7 drops of Red food coloring and 3 drops of Crimson food coloring.
4. Slice Mini Marshmallow in half diagonally for the ears.
5. Prepare the Pink Sugar Wafers for the snout.  Cut each one in half, and then round off the edges of one side with a sharp knife.  You will need one of these for each cupcake.
6. Once the cupcakes cooled, cut a slit in the cupcake for the cookie snout. Before you put the cookie in the slit in the cupcake, frost that area of the cupcake.  It's too hard to do it after the cookie is already attached to the cupcake and you need the frosting underneath the cookie to prop it up.
7. Slip the pink wafer cookie into the slit on the cupcake.  It will rest on the frosting.
8. Use a knife to frost the rest of the cupcake with a generous amount of light pink frosting. 
9. Smooth the frosting over the whole cupcake to even it out.
10. Add a tiny dollop of frosting on the sticky sides of the cut mini marshmallows.
11. Stick the ears onto the top of the cupcake, frosting side up.  
12. Now add the Wilton Candy Eyeballs.
13. Place the medium pink frosting into a piping bag with a small Wilton #3 Decorating tip and then outline the entire face and around the eyes.
14. Finally, use red frosting to make Peppa's smile, the blush on her cheek, and her nostrils.
