For something different, just a frosting recipe. A yummy different frosting recipe. This would work wonderfully with either your favorite chocolate or vanilla cupcake. Or just about any flavor of cupcake. It’s all about the frosting this time around, at least that is what Oh SO Delicioso said. Ingredients 1/2 c salted butter, room temperature…

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.

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…
