Divide the frosting into smaller quantities for as many different colors you would like to make and place each in small bowls.
Add food coloring to color each amount to the desired color. For pastel colors, start by adding 1 small drop. Add more if a darker color is desire.
Frost the cooled cupcakes with the different colors as desired. Colored sugars, non-pariels, sprinkles, dragees, coconut, and candy can be used to decorate the cupcakes for Easter.
