I was reading the Sunday Magazine of my Newspaper when I saw these adorable Easter Cupcakes. So I knew I had to try to make a knockoff of them with the baking supplies I had on hand for Easter. These are the cute little cupcakes that came about. I made my own lemony buttercream frosting and that gave the cupcakes a real burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
Jelly beans
Peeps (chicks and bunnies)
My lemony buttercream frosting recipe (or store bought vanilla frosting)
Baker's coconut
Green food coloring
