Equipment

  • 24 Pipe Cleaners

Ingredients

  • 24 cupcakes baked and cooled (I just used a box mix and the ingredients it called for.)
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 2 drops green food coloring
  • 70-100 jelly beans (or other egg-shaped candy, such as M&M's or Robin's Eggs)
  • 2 cups frosting (You can make your own or use store-bought and just tint it to be the color you want. Here is my favorite frosting recipe)

Instructions

  • Prepare the cupcakes as directed on the box.
  • In a ziplock bag, combine the coconut with the food color, and shake it up until the coconut is green.
  • Decorate your Cupcakes by spreading on frosting, topping it with coconut and jelly beans, then adding your pipe cleaner basket holder.
