Easter Surprise Cupcakes
These cupcakes are like an Easter egg hunt – there is a chocolate egg baked inside! Easier to find and so very delicious to eat. Go a little crazy with the frosting and use food coloring of your choice for a rainbow of colors. This recipe is courtesy of the folks at Domino Sugar. Ingredients:…
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 of marshmallow, these chicks are all about coconut. Betty Crocker keeps it cute and simple which is almost always…
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 for the kids to get involved in since you can use any cupcake recipe (or box mix) and…

Raspberry Easter Egg Cupcakes
Looking for something a little different for Easter? How about a cupcake made with fresh raspberries! Sounds downright almost healthy, doesn’t it? If you would like a darker or more vibrant pink shade, just add a bit more food coloring to the batter. The delicious raspberry flavor of the cupcake is topped off by…
Creme Egg Cupcakes
Somehow eating a Cadbury Creme Egg any time of the year besides Easter just doesn’t seem right. Call it excellent marketing on their part, but I crave this super sweet chocolate candy every spring. It’s like it’s not right to buy or eat them in, say, September. As a matter of fact, you CAN’T buy…
Lamb Cupcakes
Ok, I admit it. I am a sucker for “cute” and these cupcakes are just too cute. Perfect for spring or your Easter gathering. The decoration takes a little work, but sometimes “cute” is worth it! Looks like the folks at Land O Lakes are suckers for cute, too! Lamb Cupcakes 1 (18.25-ounce) package white cake…

There is a hint of peppermint…
