Easter Peep and Bunny Cupcakes

Yum


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

Directions:
Bake cupcakes as directed by the box of cake mix.  Cool cupcakes completely.  Dye baker's coconut with green food coloring to desired grass like color.

Frost cupcakes.  Dip frosted cupcake into dyed coconut.  Place a half of a toothpick into peep and poke other end of toothpick into cupcake. Finish off with jelly beans.  Enjoy.  Makes 14-16 cupcakes.

Lemony Buttercream Frosting:
2 cups confectioners sugar
1/2 cup softened butter
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
Cream butter, add sugar and lemon juice.  Blend until creamy.

  17. Great Friday, Easter Friday or Holy Friday holds a unique importance for the Christian people group. The day pays tribute to the torturous killing of Lord Jesus Christ and his demise. Christ was double-crossed by Judas and condemned to death. It is accepted that Jesus was killed on Good Friday and rose again three days after the fact - which is set apart as Easter. The three days are otherwise called the Easter Triduum. Easter Coloring Pages

  19. Writing on any subject is not an very easy task, when you write on any subject it is very difficult. Anyone who thinks that he will write something easily on any subject, then his thinking is very wrong, I do not know that perhaps those people will have to put so much mind. Whatever you have written in your post, it has been written very beautifully, you are a person writing a very good post, the more you are praised, the less it is.
