Easter Chick Cupcakes

 

What TV commercials do you remember from your childhood?

Mikey for LIFE cereal?

Wendy's "Where's the Beef?" lady?

"I'd like to teach the world to sing" for Coke?

I wanna be a Toys R Us kid?

There is a commercial that I think about every Easter.

It is for M&M's, and features little kids thanking the Easter Bunny.

The part that sticks in my head is the kid wearing a chicken suit at the end...

 "Thanks, Easter Bunny...bawk, bawk!"

Want to make some super adorable chick cupcakes?

What You Need:
A batch of cupcakes
Frosting: yellow, orange and white
Yellow sanding sugar
Decorating bags
Decorating tips: Wilton #102 (petal) and #2 (small round)
Mini chocolate chips

Put some sanding sugar in a small bowl or plate.
Spread a layer of thick frosting on your cupcake and smooth the top.

Turn the cupcake upside down and press into the sugar until it is covered.

Press two chocolate chips into the cupcake for eyes.

Using tip #102, pipe some ruffly wings on each side.

Spoon some sugar over the wings, then shake off the excess.

Using orange frosting and tip #2, pipe a triangle beak and little feet at the bottom.

Using white frosting, pipe a tiny dot on each eye.

He's almost too cute to eat! :0)

Bawk, bawk!
