Easter Cupcakes!!

This Easter we had dinner over at my parents house. I decided to make Easter cupcakes for dessert. I made about a dozen and a half of vanilla flavored cupcakes.

While they cooled I made a batch of green frosting. I don't make frosting from scratch...unless it's cream cheese frosting. It didn't take much to make green. I used Wiltons ready to use frosting, it's the one I like to use for decorating.

I didn't want make anything elaborate. If I had more time I would have done much more to these little guys, like add flowers or something but it was late and I wanted to go to bed so I said screw it....a nest with eggs should be good enough. So I made a simple "well" for the base of the nests.

Then I used the "grass/hair" tip to make the wells look "nesty" and added some peanut M&Ms.

I got a little silly and started adding grass with the left over frosting then just gave it a rest. They turned out pretty cute. My son loved them. They kinda looked like mountain top nests.
