Our Best Easter Cupcake Recipes

When you’re looking for the perfect Easter dessert there are plenty of sweet treats to consider, from cookies to cakes. But, there’s only one baked good that can compete with the chocolate bunny tucked into your basket of Easter candy—a frosting-topped cupcake! Kids of all ages love them, and they’re surprisingly simple to make and decorate. All you need is the right recipes—like these ones. We’ve got plenty of fun designs but these sweet little chicks are too cute to pass up. Perch them atop blue-tinted icing and green coconut grass for a complete scene on each individual confection. Added bonus? You won’t have to wonder which came first—this treat features the marshmallow chick and the candy egg!
