Okay, these turned out so cute! I found them here:

So here's what I did. I made the cupcakes according to the directions.
Then I took some store bought white frosting (in the future I'll make it from scratch, I hate store bought vanilla, it tastes funny to me!) and added food coloring in my mixer. Now I used the regular cheap food coloring because I forgot to snag my sisters gel coloring, but I'd recommend the gel if you want them super green.
Then you just frost your cupcakes as smoothly as possible.
Next, cut large marshmallows into thirds, then cut those thirds in half. These will make your eyes.
Stick those eyes on your frogs like so:
Next you'll need some pink icing and some black gel:
Now, before adding the eyes and mouth, I suggest practicing. I hadn't used this stuff in years and it's a little tricky! Okay, maybe not tricky, but if you want it to look nice, I'd practice. I grabbed a paper towel and practiced. A lot. I'm still not pleased with the outcome, but towards the end I was getting better! I did the eyes first, then finished with the mouth so I wouldn't bump it while trying to dot the eyes!
The finished product!
And despite me thinking the frosting was gross, everyone else said they were absolutely delicious! And if I can make these? Anyone can. I am not the least bit artistic!
