Hello. My name is Carmella. I’m addicted to decorating with peeps. Who can resist these cute little sugar creatures?
It all started in early 2009 when I was inspired by a project in All You Magazine. I put together this centerpiece for a ladies brunch. After all the ooh’s and aah’s, I was hooked.
Last year I impaled the poor little guys with kabob skewers, tied ribbons to their underside and arranged them in a jar of jelly beans. To keep them soft I covered with a large glass cloche. BBC was wowed. It was a special treat to eat a bunny on a stick (no, not the ones from Pier 1).
This year for a quick centerpiece, I gathered up an odd number of glass containers and filled each with classic Easter candy. To finish off the look, I used tags to spell out y-u-m. Cheap, easy and best of all edible!
Do you decorate with peeps or other candies? What’s your favorite?

Cute ideas! I’ve been known to do quite a few projects with jelly beans and m&m’s but haven’t tried anything with Peeps. Might have to make a little something fun this weekend
