Simple Easter Egg Cupcakes
Easter is such a fun time for the entire family. I absolutely love getting my kids in the kitchen with me. I have the perfect Easter cupcake that the kids will love to help put together. I use a bag of candy coated chocolate eggs on top of the cupcakes that lay on top of a bed of chocolate shavings.
Enjoy this beautiful Easter weekend with your family!!
Simple Easter Egg Cupcakes
- One box Yellow Cake Mix
- Food Coloring (optional)
- 2 sticks softened butter
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 6-8 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 bag candy coated chocolate eggs
- chocolate shavings from a block of chocolate
1. Prepare cake according to package directions, making cupcakes. Use food coloring to color cake however you'd like. Let cool completely. To prepare frosting, beat butter, powdered sugar and cream in a stand or electric mixer until smooth. Frost on cooled cupcakes. Top centers with chocolate shavings and top with 3 candy eggs.
Makes 24 cupcakes
Note: To shave chocolate, take a block of chocolate and use a vegetable peeler to peel chocolate. Use the curls and bits of chocolate to place on top of frosting.
