Summary: The hardest part of this project was making sure Mr Ask didn’t eat my decorations before the cakes were made! This is just a cupcake with chocolate buttercream, crumbled up flake and candy coated eggs. I used a 1A Wilton tip to pipe the icing and mostly M&M speckled eggs to decorate them. I think they are super cute! Plus they are pretty easy. You can make the cupcake any flavour you like or make it easier still and use a packet cake mix. No need to go buy a special piping tip either – just snip the off the tip of a disposable piping bag or the corner of a snap lock and pipe a blob in the centre (to glue down the eggs) and pipe a circle around it, at the edge of the cake. Sprinkle with flake and arrange your eggs. Happy Easter Lovelies!
