Easter cupcakes

They boys had many, many cupcake requests for Easter so of course I made some. It seems at this point I'm willing to find any excuse to make cupcakes. Plus, you can really have some fun with the Easter theme!

I bought a new cupcake book from Better Homes and Gardens that had some really cute ideas and delicious recipes.

Like these Orange Cream-sicle cupcakes.


And yes, they taste exactly like the popular frozen treat.

Jackson really, really wanted bunny cupcakes so I made these:


Coconut cupcakes with white icing rolled in coconut and topped with two little candy bunny ears.

And the last ones are cute little bird's nest cupcakes with Robin Eggs:


The boys especially loved those!

I love the dishes you put them in, so pretty. My cousin's wife actually made bunny face cupcakes and brought them, they were so cute. I can't believe you made all these cupcakes, you are becoming a cupcake queen alright. I saw that magazine at the store too and flipped thru and didn't see any mini cupcakes that you do. My kids would love that orange one though. Thanks for sharing all your creations with us.

Thank you guys! These were a lot of fun to make!

The pink dishes are my mom's. She had a cute little display set up for Easter lunch and I dumped the jelly beans and used the dish to take pictures of the cupcakes. :)

Very cute! the orange one sounds delish!

My daughter is in to the whole cupcake/cake boss war competition shows and has taken some decorating classes, now if she would just start making them for me to enjoy!! :D

Those cupcakes look yummy. Say...if I don't win the unibind machine over on your sketches site, then how about a drawing here on this site (that I win, of course!) for a copy of that cute little cupcake book that you made? I am drooling at the thought of getting my hands on one of those. ;)

Happy Friday!

I'm afraid the cupcake book would be quite boring right now since it's only got 6 recipes. Maybe when I've got it full I'll do that! :)

I just wanted to thank you for suggesting the Better Homes and Gardens website for those ice cream sundae cupcakes. I checked it out and I think that's how I'm going to do them, except I'm going to use sprinkles instead of the chopped nuts.
