Easter Cupcakes with Mini-Egg Buttercream Icing

I am obsessed with Cadbury mini eggs.  If I could only have one candy in my easter basket, mini eggs are it.  While I love a bird’s nest treat as much as the next person, when I saw the local cupcake store come out with mini egg buttercream icing, I knew I had to make my own version.

They’re really easy to make and I can guarantee that the kids (or kids at heart) in your life will gobble up these cupcakes fast.  Or at least the icing. . . because what kid actually eats the cupcake?

If you love Cadbury mini eggs you'll love these easy Easter cupcakes! Your kids will devour the buttercream icing and you'll enjoy a different Easter dessert idea that isn't a bird's nest. Try these fun treats and watch them disappear! #Easter #Easterbaking #Eastercupcakes #baking #cupcakes #minieggs #Cadburyminieggs #Easterrecipe #holidaycupcake #funtreats #forkids [Read more…]
