Easter Cupcakes

By dkanon

The colored coconut on these cupcakes not only look cute, but add a little bit of coconut flavor! Use green coconut to look like grass, with jelly beans for Easter cupcakes.

Ingredients

• 1 package white cake mix, size to make two layers
• 1 (16-ounce) container vanilla frosting
• Flaked coconut, (about 1 cup for each desired color)
• McCormick® Assorted Food Colors & Egg Dye
• Assorted Easter candies, including jelly beans

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool on wire racks. Frost cupcakes.

Place coconut in large resealable plastic bag. Squeeze food color into coconut (use 5 to 6 drops desired food color to 1 cup coconut). Shake until color is evenly distributed.

Sprinkle frosted cupcakes with tinted coconut. Decorate as desired with candies.
