Yummy Cupcakes: Perfect for Spring


Looking for fun springtime treats? Well, look no further! I made these adorable cupcakes on Easter weekend and they were a big hit with the family. Here’s the recipe and some photos of the process. Enjoy!

What you’ll need:
1 box Flutterfetti cake mix (prepared according to instructions on the box)
24 paper cupcake liners
1 container vanilla icing
1 package coconut
1 package egg shaped candy
1 package Peeps
Green food coloring

Instructions:
Bake the cupcakes according to package instructions; let cool completely. While the cupcakes are cooling, mix the icing with a few drops of green food coloring. In a separate bowl, mix a cup of the coconut with a few drops of the green food coloring. When the cupcakes are ready to be decorated, spread a generous amount of green icing on each cupcake; then sprinkle the coconut on top of the cupcakes. Decorate the top of each cupcake with eggs, a peep, or both!
