#MixUpAMoment with Easter Egg Cupcakes

I was recently asked by The J.M Smucker Company to create something unique using their product and I wanted to share it with you…

Easter is almost here and that means it's time to go on an egg hunt, find the baskets, and color eggs!  Easter is one of my favorite holidays because it's a beautiful day that doesn't involve a lot of tasks that have to be done.  We normally make a fruit salad and one other dessert for Easter and most of the time it's cupcakes.  My kids love cupcakes and they love decorating them too! 

How to make easy homemade Cadbury Creme Eggs

Smooth buttercream surrounded by a delicious layer of milk chocolate!

My family loves Cadbury Creme Eggs, but when they're not in season they are hard to find.  I found an easy way to make them all year and they only require a few ingredients too!  These start off with a ready made buttercream cream-center which I made yellow for the yolks and molded some white around it.  Then I melted some milk chocolate, dipped the eggs and decorated them with Easter colors.  The kids couldn't get enough of them. These turned out so cute, and they were so easy to make!

Carrot Cake Tarts with Cream Cheese Frosting

 

Easter is upon us and I know everyone is looking for quick & easy desserts!  These carrot & cream cheese tarts start out with a cake mix, add a few ingredients, top with icing and you're ready to enjoy!  I decided to make these like my cake mix brownies so they are a little on the thicker/denser side.  I love desserts like that, however if you don't, you could always make the cake mix according to the package directions so they'll be lighter; more like a cupcake.  Either way these are sure to please!
