Easter Basket Cupcakes

 These cute cupcakes are a super fun and easy project to make with your kids.  Let them help ice the cupcakes, sprinkle the grass and decide what kind of “eggs” to put in the baskets.  After they are finished, put one cupcake basket by each place setting at Easter brunch, classroom parties or even give them as gifts.  Thanks for the unique idea Disney Family Fun!
Edible Easter Basket Cupcakes
1 dozen cupcakes
 Jellybeans, gumdrops or other candies for eggs
2 cups of white icing
 Pipe cleaner or red licorice
Sweetened coconut colored with green food coloring
 Ribbon for bows

Directions:

  1. Frost the cupcakes with white icing. Bend a pipe cleaner or a piece of red licorice into an arch and push the ends into the sides of each cupcake.
  2. Shake the shredded coconut in a stainless steel bowl. Sprinkle on food coloring bit by bit, mixing vigorously to distribute the color
  3. Place a pinch of shredded coconut on each iced cupcake. Now place three jelly beans on the “nest” of coconut.
  4. Tie a small ribbon bow on the pipe cleaner or licorice handle at a jaunty angle.
