Easter Egg Cupcakes
These Easter egg cupcakes look so cute and they are pretty easy to make. I hope you enjoy this recipe. The recipe you see is entirely lactose free, providing you use the right products of course. The technique to pipe the grass is actually pretty easy to master. Hold the bag at a slight angle. The tips must be vertical. Squeeze to form the base of the leaf. Ease off pressure and pull up to create a point. Stop applying pressure completely and pull away.  
Servings: 12 yield(s)
Ingredients
  • 12 Cupcakes (check out my class vanilla cupcake recipe)
  • Green Icing (Brand used - Over The Top)
  • 100s & 1000s sprinkles
  • Pink and yellow fondant (Brand Used - Satin Ice Gum Paste)
  • Leaf piping tip and piping bag
  • Small lactose free Easter eggs or Colored fondant in the shape of eggs
  • Basket and Flowers Silicone Mold (Katy Sue)
  • Large sprinkles
Instructions
  1. The first step is to level out your cupcake so it is nice and flat. Get a piping bag and fit it with the leaf piping tip. Fill with a bright green icing.
  2. Hold the bag at a slight angle. The tips must be vertical. Squeeze to form the base of the leaf. Ease off pressure and pull up to create a point. Stop applying pressure completely and pull away.
  3. Keep piping until the entire surface of the cupcake is covered in the leaves. Having lots of them together looks like grass. Don't worry about having them at the same length, it will look better if there are some different lengths. If there are any large gaps simply fill them in more.
  4. Take a small piece of fondant and press it into the mold. Clean the edges up. Turn out and repeat.
  5. To finish the flowers we are going to place a small sprinkle into the center of each flower. Dip a small paintbrush into water. Press the paintbrush into the center of each flower to lightly wet it. Get the sprinkle and place it onto the wet spot. Press down gently to push it in place
  6. Press down three lactose free mini Easter eggs into the center of each cupcake or use colored fondant.
  7. Apply a few leaves around the edge of the eggs and into the center of the eggs. Place a few flowers around the edge.
  8. Place some sprinkles onto the cupcake.
  9. Serve and enjoy.
