How to Make our Gluten Free Easter Marble Cupcakes

Decorating these Gluten Free Easter Marble Cupcakes
When it came to choosing the decoration for these cupcakes, I was tempted to go simple, by topping with a swirled buttercream. But white scrolling through Pinterest, I saw someone use peeps as a cupcake topper and I thought that was perfect. Especially since Peeps are gluten free!
And although these cupcakes look like they are hard to make, they are super easy.
Once everything was decided it was simply a matter of making the cupcakes and assembling them to create these cute Gluten Free Easter Marble Cupcakes
