1 teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda

Cupcakes and Easter Baskets

I was just sitting here thinking of cupcakes.  I personally love the little cakes.  I fool myself into thinking if I eat two or three it is less than a slice of a layer cake.  It is all in the mind, I know.

But I was thinking why not make cupcakes, but decorate them like Easter Baskets?  Make your cupcakes any flavor you want, ice them and then let your kids help decorate.

Use licorice whips for handles, jelly beans or gummy bears for decorations, even colored coconut for grass.  Let your imagination flow and then eat two or three…it’s all good!
