I saw a photo of this posted on Facebook and knew I had to try it! The recipe I saw used regular sized cupcakes with the large Cadbury eggs. I decided to make mini cupcakes instead with the mini Cadbury eggs to save money.
This is what you'll need.
- 1 Chocolate Duncan Hines Cake Mix (and the ingredients on the box for that)
- 2 packs of the mini Cadbury Eggs,
- Frosting! I used Ducan Hine's frosting Creations for the white frosting.
- The pink frosting was actually royal icing and the recipe can be found here!
- Wilton's icing bags!
- Wilton's Lemon Yellow Icing Color, and Pink Rose Icing Color
- Tips from Wilton = 1M (yellow cupcakes), 2D (white cupcakes), and I believe the last one was tip 125 (pink cupcakes.
- Cupcake pan (I made mini and regular sized cupcakes)
- Cupcake liners - I purchased mine from thebakersconfections
- Pearl like sprinkles. I purchased mine at Ross.
All you need to do is make the mix like it is instructed on the box. Fill the cupcake liners 1/2-3/4 full. Push a mini Cadbury egg into the center. Bake as instructed on the box. I believe the mini ones were baked for about 12 minutes.
Once it's cooling start make the royal icing. Dye with Wilton's icing colors. I chose easter colors! Put a tip in the bag. Then decorate! ( I used royal icing, because my assistant (aka mom) made that instead of buttercream. The royal icing, despite my hesitations, came out great.
It was soooo good, and it received a lot of compliments.
