Easter Cupcakes

March 21, 2013 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 11 Comments

Transform some vanilla cupcakes, into Easter Basket Cupcakes with some piped buttercream, a filligree handle, and some mini chocolate eggs. A yummy Easter treat!



Sarah baked up a batch of vanilla cupcakes using the perfect vanilla cupcakes recipe by Glorious Treats. They were light and delicious. The cooled cupcakes were decorated with piped butter cream.

Frosting:
Ingredients:
125 g butter (1 stick), softened
3 cups icing (confectioners) sugar
2 – 4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
pink food colouring


Method:
Place the butter in a large mixing bowl and on medium speed of an electric mixer beat until smooth. Add  the sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Gradually add the remaining milk or until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. Add a few drops of food coloring and mix thoroughly. 

Place icing in piping bag with Wiltons 2D Tip. Pipe swirls onto cupcakes. Add mini Chocolate eggs and filligree handles.



Delicious Easter Basket Cupcakes.

Sewing relaxes your body and mind. Sewing is a form of meditation, as you focus on your breathing and the rhythm of the needle. Sewing can also lower your blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension, which improves your overall health.
