Notes
Want a surprise inside the cupcakes? Use a melon baller and scoop out the center of each cupcake after they are baked. Fill each cupcake with a few Easter candies. Then frost and decorate the tops. You can use a piping bag and a grass tip to make the frosting look like grass if you like. So cute!
