Welcome! It’s another 2-for-1 Day! Cupcake Tuesday and Spring Hop Party!
If you missed out last week, let me quickly re-cap our week. Diane started the week off with her beautiful Rose Cupcake Bouquet and Chick Macaroons, then I shared my Easter Egg Cupcakes, egg shaped cut-out sugar cookies on top of cupcakes, it’s a 2-for-1 deal, then Shelley added her adorable bunny and chick suckers, that she made from Oreos. Janet shared her amazing Easter cookies with us. And Cindy added her darling Spring Flower Basket cupcakes. Each day there was also an awesome giveaway, check them out!
I couldn’t let Easter go by without sharing some fun Easter cupcakes with you.
Aren’t they just the cutest ever? Let me share with you how easy they were…
~The Easter Bunnies
I started with a Vanilla Cupcake, frosted with Buttercream Frosting that I tinted light pink, then piped on his white face. For the ears, cut a large marshmallow in half and dip in pink colored sugar. For the face, I used, mini M&M’s, an upside heart sprinkle, chocolate sprinkles and 1 piece of gum cut in half.
~The Chicks
Again, I used a Vanilla Cupcakes, tinted Buttercream Frosting yellow, then using a Wilton #3 or #4 tip, I piped on the hair feathers in white, the eyes in blue and the beak and feet in orange. My inspiration for the chicks came from Paris Pastry Blog.
And aren’t they cute tucked into my Easter Mantle? Maybe an Easter Cupcake hunt instead of an Easter Egg hunt!
UPDATE: If you are looking for more Easter Cupcakes…you find all of my new cupcakes here
Now it’s your turn! Share your cupcake creation for Cupcake Tuesday or your Spring/Easter treat!

I am going to try and recreate your amazing cupcakes! They look so wonderful! I think my children are going to be blown away by them (if I manage to pull it off!)
I’m a newbie crafter, but I want to give this little apron a try. I think I can do it!

Your cupcakes are so cute! Well done!
For Easter I’ll be making the usual… Ham, mashed taters and several veggie dishes to go with it. Sadly, Easter at our house is more about the sweets and treats than the dinner! So we’re all about leaving room for the chocolates!
@Janet, I was just on your blog, I guess we were swapping views at the same time

Spun sugar melts into a globby mess when exposed to moisture I have learned. I may try colored coconut over the icing trick for mine. Oh my they all look scrumptous. Skip To My Lou is how I found you and I am so glad I did. I follow you both in email. Thanks so much for sharing a wonderful idea for Easter.
