Introduction
- When you're looking for a dessert that is simple to serve, can be made ahead of time, and can be customized to individual tastes, cupcakes are a great solution! They can be elegant, time-consuming works of art, or just a fun and simple project taken on alongside your toddler. You're in control—there are no rules when it comes to decorating Easter cupcakes.
-
Step 1: What You'll Need
- There are no complicated supplies needed for Easter cupcakes, just items you may already have in your kitchen or can easily find at most grocery stores:
- Cupcakes
- Frosting
- Food coloring
- A pastry bag, or seal-able bag to pipe frosting onto cupcakes
- A spoon, spatula or knife to spread the frosting
- A large, flat work surface, such as a table
- Your choice of decorations

Step 2: Easter Cupcake Tips
- While there are no rules when it comes to decorating Easter cupcakes, there are some tips that can help:
- Keep frosting pastel-colored, to stay in the spirit of the season. If you have a chocolate lover in the family, use a chocolate cupcake, but keep the frosting pastel.
- If you need to mound dollops of frosting (to create a sheep, for example), use a seal-able bag with the corner cut off to pipe the frosting neatly onto the cupcake.
- Coconut tinted with a few drops of green works well as grass.
- Assorted colors of jelly beans can be used to represent Easter eggs
- Peeps are a simple way for toddlers to help. You frost, they place a Peep on top of the cupcake.
