Happy Easter!!!!

I'm going to include a few things here to get you all ready for Easter! I am actually going to spend Easter with my family and were all going to meet up in Columbia, SC where my uncle John is a pastor of a church! So here are some ideas I had for us to keep the kids entertained! Because there are lots of little ones now!!  First, will make sumy yummy easter treats because kids love cupcakes and especially when they get to be involved in the decorating! So I thought these would be fun to make!!

Easter Bunny Cupcakes

You don't have to grow a garden like Mr. McGregor's to have a family of rabbits show up at your house on Easter -- or any other time.

Ingredients

• A cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe)
• White icing
• Shredded coconut
• Pink decorators' sugar
• Jelly bean nose
• Chewable Sweet Tart eyes
• Large marshmallow
• Mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Frost a cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with white icing and sprinkle on shredded coconut fur.
2. Cut a large marshmallow in half widthwise. Squeeze each half slightly to give it an oval shape, then decorate the sticky side of each one with pink decorators' sugar and set them in place for ears.
3. Add a jelly bean nose and either jelly bean or snipped Sweet Tart eyes, and mini marshmallows for cheeks. For a finishing touch, draw on decorators' gel pupils or whiskers if you like.
4. Then I found this one! SO I want to do this one too lol! Theyre just all so cute!

   Instructions

   1. To make a pair of nests, first spread 1/2 cup of shredded coconut on a cookie sheet and toast it under a broiler until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove the coconut from the oven, stir it, then toast it for 30 seconds more. Repeat as needed until all of the coconut is evenly toasted, then let it cool.
   2. Next, melt 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips in a double boiler according to the package directions. Remove the pan from the heat (keep the chocolate over the warm water) and stir in the coconut.
   3. For the nestlings, lay a Twinkie flat on your work surface and cut it in half. Press 2 chocolate sprinkles into each half for eyes and pipe on orange frosting beaks. Let the beaks set a bit, then stand the chicks upright on waxed paper and spoon the warm coconut mixture around them, shaping it into rings. Lastly, use frosting to stick on trimmed candy lemon slices (we used Brach's) for wings.
