How cute are these pinata cupcakes? They are the perfect kid friendly cupcake for cinco de mayo tomorrow!

If you’re looking for a fun Easter craft I really like these crepe paper surprise bunnies from Martha Stewart.  The bunnies are made of crepe paper, tissue paper, and cupcake wrappers.  You will also need candy or trinkets to fill the bunnies with.  I love that you can use supplies that your already have on hand to make the bunnies and each will be unique!  For the template and instructions visit the Martha Stewart website.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  Remember those breakfast cupcake posts?  Similar to the cinnamon toast crunch and Cap’n crunch cookie cupcakes, today’s St. Patrick’s Day cupcake idea is inspired by breakfast cereal.  Lucky Charm Cupcakes! As a kid I loved Lucky Charms, well I think I really liked the marshmallows, and now I can’t help but wonder if cupcakes that include the cereal are as magically delicious! I found several recipes for Lucky Charm cupcakes, two, shown above, called for vanilla cupcakes topped with frosting and then the cereal.  These recipes included one from AMK Designs and Delights, the recipe calls for homemade vanilla cupcakes and a sprinkle of lucky charms.  For those pressed for  time, Betty Crocker’s recipe calls for yellow cake mix, lucky charms, and edible glitter.

For the bakers that take time to bake from scratch, Cupcake Project has a recipe for Lucky Charm Cupcakes using homemade lucky charms that are in the crust, the batter, and on top of the frosting!  This, shown to the left, cupcake sounds more time consuming but also sounds like the true Lucky Charm cupcake!

Here in North Carolina we have been having weather in the 80s!  Which means these green ice cream cupcakes from One Charming Party would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow!  Using mint chocolate chip ice cream and green liners, these festive no-bake cupcakes are easy to make in advance, saving you time to celebrate the holiday!

Another week, another trip to Target.  And another cupcake hunt too!  This week I found this adorable felt cupcake Easter basket for only $2.50.  I also discovered that there is a small version to the large cupcake bucket I posted last week.   The large is $8 and the small one is only $5. It’s going to be a cupcake filled Easter at my house this year!

Bed Bath and Beyond has these cupcake shaped containers of Easter candy.  I have no idea what the flower candy inside the package tastes like but it definitely looks in the cupcake container!  The candy costs $2.99 so it’s the perfect addition to any Easter basket or package.

Remember those cupcake shaped Easter eggs from Walmart that we shared with you?  Well Target has Easter eggs that are decorated to look like cupcakes!  I really like these eggs because they still have the traditional egg shape but are fun colors!

Target had some other cupcake products worth sharing like this cute cupcake pillow with a matching four piece toddler bed set.  The pillow costs $14.99 and is fun even without the matching bedding!
