Awesomeness alert: Easter cupcake kebabs with Peeps and Rice Krispie treats!

Firstly, let me say that this week I discovered the blog Warm Sugary Goodness, and will be posting more from them soon, and that made me happy, and now they've taken cupcake kebabs to a new level with their Easter cupcake kebabs which include mini cupcakes, Peeps and Rice Krispie treats! So much fun on a stick. Love these. Also, they seem relatively easy to make (I've never made cupcake kebabs, though I have eaten my fair share) and so adaptable to whatever you have handy and want to include.

These cupcakes were made by emptying them, dying them, filling them with cake batter and cream cheese frosting, and then baking them. It's seems like a long process, so for all the directions and recipes, check out this post by Cupcake Project!
