We made these this weekend just for fun. I had cut the recipe off a cupcake box a few weeks ago. The kids really enjoyed decorating the cupcakes.
Ingredients:
1 Box yellow cake mix
water, vegetable oil, and eggs called for on the cake box mix
Decorations:
2 1/2c shredded coconut
1 container of vanilla frosting
m&m's
orange gumdrops
whopper robin eggs (next time I'm going to try jelly beans)
yellow and green food coloring
Mix up the cupcake batter following the instructions on the box. Bake as directed and allow to cool. Divide the coconut in half and place in ziploc bags. Add 4 drops of food coloring to the bag. Shake to mix. Frost the cupcakes with white frosting. Top with yellow or green coconut. For eyes, add brown m&m'. Cut orange gum drops to resemble a beak. Place on cupcake. Add Robin Eggs to the green cupcakes. If I had thought about it, I would have bought some red licorice strips to turn the green cupcake into a basket.
