Instructions
 

  • Bake the cupcakes according to the box directions.
  • Transfer them to wire racks to cool.
  • Cream the butter in a medium bowl.
  • Slowly add in the powdered sugar, and milk as needed, until everything is incorporated and frosting is the right consistency.
  • Add several drops of green food coloring and whip a few more minutes to get an even color.
  • Roughly ice cupcakes to resemble grass.
  • Place 4 M&Ms on the center of the cupcake and slightly overlapping to make the head and body. We used the same color M&Ms for the body and a different color for the head.
