As spring approaches, so does Easter. As if you couldn’t get enough sugar from all the chocolate eggs, how about some cupcakes too. There are many spring themes to work with, so I’ve found examples of some of the main ones to get your ideas flowing.
A Nest of Eggs:
One of the easiest decorations to do, I remember making these with my mum when I was a child. The nest is made with a Cadbury’s Flake and the eggs are Cadbury’s Mini Eggs – however there are possibly alternate brands of both these products.

Hatchling Chicks:
These are many many ways to do chicks, but I love this collection with some still in their shell. An alternate method would be to replace the yellow sugarpaste with a layer of yellow buttercream instead.

Easter Bunny:
Now not only are these cute, but they combine cupcakes and cookies. Not only that, but the wonderful blogger at Sweet Sugar Belle has included step by step instructions.

Spring Flowers: Tulips
Tulips are my favourite flowers, so I’m in love with these simple but stunning tulip cupcakes (the sweet Easter Bunny cupcake stand doesn’t do any harm either).

A Full Easter Collection:
And for you sugarcraft enthusiasts who are looking for something more complex to try out, how about this beautiful Easter collection? My favourite is the basket on the tip right, genius!
