This weekend is Easter - do you need a last minute dessert? Children and adults alike can't resist a tempting cupcake! These are cupcakes I whipped up for a last minute dessert to bring to a family gathering a few years ago. We still lived close enough to family (well, 3 hours away at the time) to 'gather' at a moment's notice. These cupcakes were so easy but turned out so cute and were a hit with everyone. And really, they are so quick to make, why not whip some up today and surprise your crew for Easter dinner this weekend?
- Make your favorite cake recipe or use a box mix.
- Make it into cupcakes.
- Let cool completely and top with your favorite frosting recipe (I have a bunch to choose from on my side bar!).
- Sprinkle with non perils or colored sugar and wha-la! You are done!
The frosting I used on the cupcakes in the picture above is;
1 c shortening
1 c butter
4 c powdered sugar
3/4 c marshmallow cream
4 t vanilla extract
Beat on low 30 seconds and high 2-5 minutes until it looks like whipped cream.
