Cupcake Ingredients:

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 12 count muffin tin with non-stick spray or use Easter theme cupcake liners. Combine all the cupcake ingredients and fill each muffin well about 3/4 full. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely prior to decorating.

Gently squeeze the frosting out of the small sandwich bag and into the cupcake.
Add some Easter colored sprinkles to the frosting.

Aren’t these the cutest? We even experimented with using jams to fill the cutouts, and we even made a few Easter Bunny cupcakes with Nutella.

I like these – so festive!
Would enjoy making/sharing these with the grand kids.
thanks
You are so welcome Barbara, let me know how they turn out!
These are so cute! Pinned! Thanks for sharing with Merry Monday this week!
I’ve looked over the recipe multiple times and I cannot find any reason for the green gel food coloring. What am I missing? Now I know, despite not being shown, that the small egg cookie cutter is to be used in the same way as the bunny. However I can’t see getting very complicated in this small space and trying to do multiple colors of the eggs. Other than coloring the white frosting, why the green? And then, why just green, if making what are to be colored eggs then many different colors could be used.
These are absolutely darling! Thank you so much for sharing at this week’s Project Inspire{d}. Have a wonderful week.
Those are adorable…makes me smile.
Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday.
I love your cupcakes, they are so cute! What a great idea to put the frosting inside the cutout! I am guest hosting on the Merry Monday link party for April and I featured your cupcakes in my roundup post. Thanks for sharing and come back to share more. 🙂
Thank you for including my recipe Kimberly, love your blog!!
Pamela!! I can’t believe that I left that in there – I’m so sorry! It was originally in my recipe because I had the best of intentions of also doing a clover for St. Patrick’s Day, but never got around to it SO we changed things up for Easter, and I totally spaced the color change. I hope there is no one else out there trying to figure out what the green frosting is for, thank you so much for catching that… I have updated the post!
These are fabulous! Shared & Pinned! Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday! Hope to see ya next week!
Kim
