Simple Easter Cupcakes

Desserts

Need a last minute Easter Cupcake idea?  Here’s what you’ll need:  A cake mix (or your favorite white or yellow cake recipe),  food coloring gels to tint the batter,  a block of chocolate for shaved curls that you do with a vegetable peeler, then top it off with Cadbury mini Eggs.

That’s easy enough right?  The kids love these and can help assemble them :)


See full instructions over at Smithfield.com for my latest post with them.  Have a beautiful Wednesday!!

    And if you put a Twizzler in either side of the top of the cupcake, it looks like a basket handle! The kids LOVED them when I made them 2 years ago!!!

    These are so fun! I love that you used a black and white liner – so unexpected from the usual pastels of Easter. Have a great holiday!

    Made these tonight. I give them 2 thumbs up for ease, short ingredient list and presentation. I needed something eye catching and cute for Easter entertaining. A huge hit! I used ready made frosting. I recommend and will be making again!
