I've seen these cupcakes in a lot of magazines, so I decided to give it a shot!
Luckily, we have a niece that keeps me thinking of the Easter Bunny and not feeling nostalgic of the days when my kids were little.

I made this Easter basket for my niece!

I have my first great-nephew now, but I consider him my grandbaby, as I was his dad's foster mom for seven years, and his mom is my twin sister, so we have always thought we were each-others-halfs. I thought about him today, and tried calling, but I guess they are gone to her mom's house. I have thought about making those cupcakes. I'm not a fan of coconut, so that is why I haven't made them.

the cupcakes look great! at work for the easter weekend i had to make about 30 cupcakes with bright coloured icing and little chocolate eggs with a chicken standing next to them. very cute! (the chickens weren't edible but they were sitll cute!)

Trying hard not to be a slave to the lenders.

Teaching my sons to be fiscally responsible by example.
