Easter Chicks Cupcakes
We have been remiss here at Cupcake Fanatic by not including any baby chicks in our cupcake decorating. Easter just isn’t Easter without some baby chicks and these cupcakes remind me of marshmallow Peeps. Sort of. Instead [...]
Spring Flower Cupcakes
I do believe spring is just around the corner. For some folks, winter turned ugly this year so it’s time to celebrate spring with some fun and pretty flower cupcakes! These would be a perfect afternoon project [...]
Easter Bunny Cupcakes
Are these not just about the cutest cupcakes you have seen for Easter? I love that the decorations are probably something we all have in the pantry and not something we have to buy for the sole [...]
Lamb Cupcakes

Shamrock Pretzel Cupcakes

Lucky Charms Cupcakes
Ah…Lucky Charms. Brings back so many good memories of being a kid and a sugar coated breakfast. Good times. Of course, the leprechaun also reminds us all of St. Patrick’s Day so this recipe from Just [...]
Mini Conversation Heart Cupcakes
Remember getting those candy conversation hearts when you were a kid? Do they still sell the original (now classic?) ones that say things like “Be Mine” or “Love”? We like this idea from The Baking Robot because it [...]
