The Most Amusing Easter Cupcakes You’ll Ever Make

A fun very interesting way of preparing Easter cupcakes with the kids.
I’m just getting started with Easter desserts and it’s getting better every post. I initially posted The Easter Polka Dot Cake which is my intro for the Easter posts I have in store for your guys.
So what do you usually do during Easter Sunday? Of course, it is a given that not everybody celebrates this religious festive day, but for those who do, the proper treats should be in order. Aside from the very usual Easter eggs and Easter egg hunting activity, I always make it a point to prepare a special meal and a very special dessert table for my family.
And this really cute and crazy looking cupcakes are just perfect for my wacky kids. Not only will they love munching on them, but they will truly enjoy even preparing them with me. Why not try it out with your kids and friends?
Check out the recipe and instructions below.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a stand mixer bowl, fitted with a flat beater, cream butter on medium high for 1 minute. Gradually add in sugar and beat until well combined.
