Delicious light and fluffy chocolate cupcakes with perfect Easter decoration on top. Use green buttercream for the grass and add a few small Easter eggs. Perfect Easter egg cupcakes!
These Easter egg cupcakes look a bit like a spring garden, complete with grass and Easter egg, making them perfect for the Easter table.
They’re easy but look impressive and with classic flavors that you’ll love. Fun to decorate too!
Make sure to double check the exact quantities and ingredients in the recipe card below:
Making the cupcake batter is pretty straightforward and no different from making regular easter cupcakes. It’s the frosting on top of the cupcake that make these special!
While your cupcakes are cooling down on a wire rack you can make the buttercream frosting. I tint mine a light green color and transfer them to a piping bag with a grass tip (I use this Wilton #233).
Now you pipe the green grass onto the top of the cupcakes. It doesn’t have to be really neat. It will look fun anyway!
On top of the frosting you nestle some Easter egg candies. Whatever you favorite kind of candy eggs, and that is all there is to these delicious Easter egg cupcakes.
You can store these pretty cupcakes in a cool place (not in the fridge!) for about 4-5 days. Place the cupcakes in an airtight container.
You can make the cupcakes and freeze them properly wrapped but without the decorations. Once decorated eat them within a few days.
If you’re looking for more fun ways to make delicious Easter recipes? I’ve got you covered!
Gel food coloring works best, as it gives a vibrant color without thinning the buttercream. Liquid coloring will also work, but add it sparingly.
A grass tip (such as Wilton #233) gives the best effect, but if you don’t have one, you can use a star tip or simply spread the buttercream with a knife for a more rustic look.
Yes! Vanilla, lemon, or even carrot cupcakes work beautifully with this decoration. Just use your favorite cupcake recipe as the base.
Small chocolate eggs, jelly beans, or mini candy-coated eggs work best. Choose lightweight candies so they don’t sink into the buttercream.
Definitely. You can hollow out the center and fill them with chocolate spread, ganache, jam, or even mini chocolate eggs for a fun surprise.
