Easy Egg Nest Cupcakes

Here’s a super-easy Easter treat you can make, and the kids can help out with this, too! These Easy Egg Nest Cupcakes are so, so easy to make because you use cake mix for the cupcakes and a ready-made container of frosting. They’re decorated with either chocolate frosting with chocolate sprinkles, or vanilla frosting with green-tinted sweetened coconut flakes. The sprinkles and the tinted coconut flakes give the cupcake tops a nest-like appearance. And they’re topped with your choice of mini robin eggs, speckled mini chocolate eggs, or speckled jelly beans.

A Sweet Springtime Treat

A Sweet Springtime Treat @ NancyCI love those Malted Milk Speckled Eggs…they are my favorite Easter candy (and those Cadbury Creme Eggs are a close second)! I buy them every year and eat way too many of them! One year, I found a Robin’s Egg Blue teacup at a flea market and thought it would make a great candy dish for my speckled eggs—I still use it for that! I love the way the pretty pastel speckled eggs look nestled inside the blue teacup. Maybe you’ll be able to use this idea for your own Easter candy!

It’s fun using teacups for other uses in addition to drinking tea. I’ve been to tea rooms with friends where they serve soup in teacups–isn’t that a great idea? If you’re a teacup collector, it’s a great way to use your teacups more often! 🙂

Hope you are enjoying all your Easter and springtime goodies! What’s your favorite Easter treat?

Flower Cupcakes

These are the pretty flower cupcakes I told you about in an earlier post, Springtime and Easter Cupcake Cuteness. These were also made by my friend Ann, and this recipe is also from the cookbook Celebrating Cupcakes and Muffins. These cupcakes have chocolate chips in the batter and are topped with a smooth, creamy Royal Icing. They’re perfect for any spring celebration, whether it’s Easter, Mother’s Day, a spring birthday, a garden party–or just whenever you want to make some pretty cupcakes! The original recipe has a custard filling, but Ann made hers just with chocolate chips, and they were very yummy!
