Easter Basket Cupcakes

April 22, 2011 By Sarah F. Leave a Comment


This week I am deviating a bit from my norm. I just think these are so cute that I had to share. I had every intention of making one of these and snapping some pictures for you this morning but realized I didn’t have licorice or coconut like I thought I did. These cupcakes are so super easy to put together and would look absolutely adorable on a dessert table, buffet or at each child’s plate for Easter dinner or brunch.

Basically, you take a cupcake and cover the top with “Easter Grass” (green shredded coconut), bend a length of licorice as a a basket handle and top the grass with speckled eggs.

What you will need:

  • Iced Cupcakes
  • Shredded Coconut
  • Green Food Coloring
  • Red Licorice or another Gummy Candy that comes in strips
  • Speckled Candy Eggs

Assembly:

  1. First grab an iced cupcake either white or green icing. These can be your favorite recipe or store-bought.
  2. Put a handful of shredded coconut in a zip lock bag. Add in a few drops of green food coloring, seal bag and shake to mix it together.
  3. Scatter the coconut on top of the cupcake to look like Easter Grass.
  4. Poke a hole with a wooden or metal skewer on each side of the top of the cupcake. Take a piece of licorice bend it in half and insert each end into the cupcake to form a basket handle.
  5. Arrange 3 speckled candy coated chocolate eggs on top.

Enjoy!
