Easter Egg Hunt Cupcakes
I put my kids to work in the kitchen. They colored shredded coconut, they colored marzipan, shaped marzipan and ate marzipan.
While the gang was busy creating flowers, I whipped up a batch of chocolate muffins. I used my mexican chocolate muffin recipe and substituted the cinnamon with vanilla and added 1 more tbsp of cocoa powder. While the muffins were baking, I made a batch of ganache. See ganache filling recipe in chocolate macaroons (I made half a portion for 12 cupcakes). I needed some soil for my coconut grass to grow. When all was done, we put together the Easter Egg Hunt Cupcakes: Cut the tops of the muffins to make them even, smeared a good layer of chocolate ganache on top, dipped the muffin tops in green unsweetened shredded coconut and decorated with marzipan flowers and easter eggs.
Happy Easter to all!
Thank you. It was actually a lot of fun – both making them and eating them!
Thank you. My daughter will be happy to hear about the flowers. Those are all her creations.
Awww…. how cute. I love it. I also love it when the kids are in the kitchen helping…. making wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing!
Looks wonderful and the flowers are amazing. Great job and thanks for sharing.
