I love how colourful these are! This is way too sweet for me, but I bet it would be a hit at a spring bake sale. ;)

Not a fan of Peeps but they are cute and would make a fun Easter display.

So sweet. Did you use an ice-cream scoop to get the frosting so smooth and round?

Nope, just a regular knife, it smooths itself out more as you roll it in the sugar.
