I made cupcakes for Easter dinner last week and am blogging what I did so I'll remember next year, they turned out really cute. My original thought was to make a cupcake version of the full size cake I made a while ago with candy grass and chocolate bunnies - but I couldn't find edible grass this year and my store was out of bunnies. So I pivoted and instead decorated my standard doctored up cupcakes three different ways.
The cupcakes themselves are doctored by adding another egg, substituting milk for the water, substituting butter for oil, and a little dash of vanilla. Then I filled them with a pudding/cool whip mixture.
Made a big batch of vanilla buttercream and frosted 2 thirds of the cupcakes white. Rolled 1/3rd of the edges in green-dyed shredded coconut and topped with a marshmallow chick; the other third have green coconut over the entire top with 3 peanut butter eggs in the center.
Dyed the remaining frosting 3 colors and put in my Wilton 3 color swirl coupler and using a large decorating tip (1M) piped large flowers on the remaining third of the cupcakes.
Note: doctoring the cupcakes makes more batter than the standard 24, I used the remaining batter to make 12 mini cupcakes and decorated those with the colored frostings and 1 peanut butter egg.
