Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Make, bake and cool cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes.
- 2. Mix the coconut with any food coloring in a bowl, drip a few drops of another food coloring into the frosting and mix well. Pull the twizzlers apart and cut into about 2 to 3 inches long.
- 3. Spread frosting onto the cupcakes, sprinkle the shredded coconut (grass) on top of the frosting, add 3 jelly beans (eggs) in the center of the cupcakes, and add the twizzler (basket handle) to the cupcake, pushing the licorice into the cupcake, about 1/2 a inch for support.
Tips:
- To achieve perfectly round cupcakes, use a cookie scoop to portion the batter evenly into the cupcake liners. - Fill the cupcake liners only ⅔ full to prevent overflowing during baking. - Bake the cupcakes at the center rack of the oven for even cooking. - Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting. - Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small hole snipped at the corner to create intricate frosting designs. - If you don't have a piping bag, use a spoon to spread the frosting evenly over the cupcakes. - Decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, candies, or edible flowers to make them more festive. - Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.Conclusion:
