| Short on time this Easter? Whip up some adorable and easy Easter cupcakes! Easter weekend is usually filled with Easter brunch, Easter lunch, Easter dinner, Easter egg hunts, Easter cocktails... so who has time to whip up sweet treats for all of these festivities? Pick out an easy cupcake recipe or buy a dozen from your favorite bakery and decorate them yourself! Decorating these cupcakes took me 15 minutes tops. Hope you enjoy this post and have a fabulous Easter weekend! |
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- Green food coloring paste or 4 - 8 drops of regular food coloring
- Zip lock bag
- Peeps, chocolate eggs or garnish of your choice
Directions:
- Dip toothpick or chopstick into food coloring paste. Dab paste along the inside of the plastic bag. If using regular food coloring, add 4 drops of food coloring into the ziplock bag.
- Add 1 cup of sweetened coconut flakes. Massage coconut flakes to distribute the food coloring evenly.
- Add more food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green. If the color is too vibrant, add more coconut flakes to suit your taste.
- Sprinkle dyed coconut on cupcakes.
- Garnish with Peeps, chocolate eggs, or anything Easter!
