Steps:
- Bake cupcakes according to the directions on the package. Allow them to cool completely.
- Scoop 2/3 of the frosting into a small bowl and mix with green food coloring. Frost the cupcakes. Sprinkle some of the green sugar over the tops.
- Cut the marshmallows in half to make two circles. Dip half of each marshmallow piece into water and dip into the green sugar to make the eyelids. The remaining white will be the eyes. Place on the cupcakes. Use a little bit of white icing to glue a chocolate chip into the center of each eye for the pupil.
- Mix the remaining frosting with red food coloring to make pink. Use the pink icing to draw smiling mouths and nostrils or even tongues on the frogs.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a precise science, so it's important to follow the recipe exactly as written. If you make substitutions or changes, your cupcakes may not turn out as expected.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cupcakes will taste. Try to use organic and locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cupcakes tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cupcakes at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the outcome of your cupcakes. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cupcakes.
Conclusion:
Frog cupcakes are a fun and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. Whether you're making them for a birthday party, a baby shower, or just for fun, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
