What you'll need to make these cupcakes:
- 1 dozen cupcakes
- 1 bag of jelly beans
- 2 cups of white icing
- Sweetened coconut, colored with green food coloring
1. Frost each cupcake with your white icing. Create an arch with a pipe cleaner or piece of licorice and press into the sides of each cupcake.
2. Shake the shredded coconut in a bag, adding food coloring to get the color you desire. Mix vigorously. (I hate coconut... I wonder if I could substitute white chocolate shredded and dyed with green food coloring - would that work!?)
3. Place a pinch of your coconut on each cupcake. Add a few jellybeans to finish complete the nest.
4. Tie a piece of ribbon around your pipe cleaner to complete the look.
... Voila - your little edible Easter basket cupcakes are complete! Bring these to your Easter dinner and watch your family and friends indulge in your cute little Easter cupcake creation!
I love those little Easter basket cupcakes too! Maybe I can try to make them next year...
