Impress your In-laws Easter Cupcakes

Easter is just around the corner…and to get a hop on it here are some cute little cupcakes which are quick and fun for everyone.  As a plus, it will look like you spent hours being Martha Stewart to create these little guys and impress the in-laws!

Grab these great toothpicks which are made specifically for decorating at your local craft store or at the craft section at Wal-Mart or Target. You will not use all of these so they will be on hand to make great creative treats later.  I only used 6 to create the Easter Mini Cupcakes.

Then use the recipe from the Spring Lemonade Cupcakes found here:

While you are waiting for your cupcakes to cool, head over to this amazing site with fun printables and select the Wooly Easter Friends to print out the cupcake flags:

Print the strips and use your fancy toothpicks to create your flags.  Just cut out the strips and using double-sided tape or some good old fashioned Elmer’s glue, fold the strips and attach to the toothpicks! 

Decorate your cupcakes using frosting, sprinkles, sugar or anything fun.  Place them on some Easter grass and you have In-Law worthy treats that you really have not spent hours on!
