I've been sick this week with a virus, hence my lack of postings! But I'm finally feeling better and have the need to bake like mad. And with Easter impending, I'm sure all of us are baking like mad and trying out new chocolate-filled recipes. So, I'd like to share with you a cute way of decorating cupcakes for Easter. The nest on top of the cupcake is made out of flakes and the eggs inside are either mini easter eggs or sugar-coated chocolate eggs. If you want to make it even cuter, build your flake-nest and pop a little chicken inside.
Ingredients
24 chocolate cupcakes, iced
1 bag of mini flakes
Variety of mini chocolate easter eggs (eg. sugar coated, wrapped, caramel filled)
Easter chickens, if desired
Method
To assemble the bird nest cupcake, line your cupcakes in a row. Unwrap the flakes and chop them slightly to create a log-like appearance for the nests. Try making some thin and some thick. Arrange these chopped flakes around the outside of the iced cupcake, leave a whole in the middle. Fill the whole with a wrapped mini egg or a few small sugar coated eggs; alternatively fill the whole with an easter chicken. Serve.
I'm sharing this at Sweets for Saturday #12

Cute cupcakes! Glad you're feeling better!:)
ReplyDeleteHow fabulously cute and creative. I would make these if I celebrated Easter and was around kids :).
ReplyDeleteHowdy, young Missy?
ReplyDeleteSad to hear that your not feeling better. I guess it's from your weather now. Autumn? I was sick from Dec 13-March 6 on & off. Viruses sometimes, ended to an acute "something" so take care. Lots of rest, k?
Hmmm... this cupcakes looks really yummy and artistic. A must "try".
Happy Sunday to you...

Im glad youre feeling better! I love the little nest cupcakes, anything with a little fuzzy birdy wins with me.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better. Great way of aiding recovery and your cupcake nests look lovely.
ReplyDeleteA lovely idea, Brittany. My boys would love those those little cupcake nests!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are fully recovered now. Flake (along with most of my other childhood favorites)are sadly unavailable in the part of the US where I live now. They are generally quite expensive when they do appear in the international market, but they are worth the splurge.
ReplyDeleteawww! that's so cute! My girls would love these cupcake nests!
ReplyDeleteI bought mini flakes too, a few weeks ago, in a little english shop in Antibes ... Didn't know how to use them ... Now I know ... Easter's coming and I'll try your little nests ... ;o)
ReplyDeleteHave a good day
Hélène
Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea...I'm all in favour of anything that gets MORE chocolate onto a cupcake!
Very sweet! I'll be giving this a try myself I think.
ReplyDeleteSO cute. Flakes are one of favorite candy bars!
ReplyDeleteCute Easter cupcakes! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better:) Have a great week as you get back into baking.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! Especially with the little chick! Hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read that your pesky virus didn't get the best of you or your talents.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cupcakes for me to try with the kiddies at the community center.
Brittany, stay strong.
All the best, Claudia
