Welcome the birds back and the Easter holiday with these easy to decorate cupcakes.
Things you will need:
- Your favorite cupcake recipe
- Frosting
- Candy eggs - jelly beans or chocolate, whatever you like best!
- Candy birds - the marshmallow variety works great here!
- Candy handles - choose your favorite rope candy, licorice, etc. (I used fruit strip & cut into strips.)
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Coconut (optional)
Directions:
1. Bake cupcakes as directed and let cool.
2. Frost cupcakes with your choice of frosting.
3. Tint coconut green by adding a few drops of food coloring. I used a plastic bag to mix it.
4. Add coconut for "grass" and add eggs on top.
5. Put candy handle on the basket or add the bird to nest
ENJOY!
