Expert Tips

Make your fun Spring Baskets even cuter! Pick up fun foil or fancifully decorated muffin cup liners at cake decorating or party supply stores.

To make basket handles the same size, use the handle from the first basket to measure the length for the rest.

Add blueberry licorice twists for a multi-color handle.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

I'm baking cupcakes for my daughter’s birthday party this year. We made these and she loved them so much that she wants me to make extras so her friends to take one home with them. Great, more work for me right  I checked online and found that Box and Wrap was a great place to get cupcake boxes. I have stickers, markers, and crayons so the kids decorate their own cupcake box.

Made these with a box of white cake mix instead of the yellow and added sprinkles into the mix before baking for some extra color. Frosted with green and tinted coconut for Easter grass and put little foil wrapped chocolate bunnies on top as well as M&M speckled eggs and Cadbury mini chocolate eggs with Twizzler handles. You have to push the Twizzler in firmly but they stayed in great. Everyone loved them and my son loved helping make them. Will do this again.
