Little Bird Bakery

We had Matt‘s family over for dinner yesterday (because we have a table to eat at for the first time in 3-4 years!), so I made some Easter themed cupcakes to serve for dessert. Matt’s mom got me some Wilton Silly-Critters! Silicone Baking Cups for Christmas that I’ve been looking for an excuse to use, so I figured why not make bunny cupcakes, with feet!?

_{As you can see, there were a few issues with getting the ears to stay on…}

_{Side view so you can see the construction: Mini cupcake for the head, regular cupcake in special cupcake liner for body, and a mini-marshmallow tail! Plus icing all over the place for a bonus.}

But since I only had four of the footed liners, and there were seven of us for dinner, I decided to make some “nests” on the other cupcakes.

The “nests” were supposed to be made from pieces of a Flake bar, but I couldn’t find one, so I just used chocolate sprinkles instead. Not the same effect, but it got the point across pretty well, I thought. And of course the eggs were the best Easter (and as of this year, year-round) chocolate ever, Mini Eggs (which appear to only be available in Canada.. I feel sorry for the rest of the world if you really can’t get them anywhere else)!

And the main display:

_{We put the rest of the Mini Eggs and some regular chocolate eggs on the middle tier to fill it out since the supposedly adjustable tiers got screwed together too tight and we can’t take it apart to take out the middle.}

Did you make any fun Easter treats?
