Bit sick of chocolate and want something special for Easter? Try these easy, rich and cute Easter Cupcakes!
These Easter Cupcakes are cute enough to make the Easter Bunny retire early.
Soft, fluffy, and topped with enough pastel frosting to start a new colour wheel, they’re perfect for school fetes, Easter arvos, or tricking friends and relatives into thinking you’ve got it together.
Add a few mini eggs on top and boom—Michelin-level perfection.
I’ve been doing these cupcakes almost every Easter, but I just try to twist it up a bit using different cupcake recipes. This time I’m using a butter cake mix. It tastes incredible!
This one’s a great activity to do with the kids if you don’t mind the mess.
