cadbury egg cupcakes


the goods:

1 box chocolate cake mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)
3 cans white frosting (or your favorite homemade buttercream recipe)
1 oz. yellow food coloring
48 mini Cadbury Creme Eggs (24 frozen)

Prepare batter according to package instructions. Scoop batter into paper lines cupcake tins 2/3 of the way full. Place 1 Mini Cadbury Creme Egg into the middle of each cupcakes (don't sink it too deep or it will burn on the bottom).

Using a small offset spatula, gently spread a thin layer of batter over the top of each egg.

Bake according to package instructions.

Allow to cool completely. While cupcakes are cooling, mix one can of frosting with the whole bottle of yellow food coloring, and blend well. Assemble your piping bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe a large circle around the perimeter of the cupcake with white frosting.

Fill in the center of the circle with the yellow frosting.

Top with a Mini Cadbury Creme Egg. Use the egg to cover up any pointy tips of frosting.
