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!

Kids Eating Habits

I have always been a firm believer that forcing children to eat certain foods and to clean their plates causes more harm than good. My husband and I raised four healthy happy children who if they tried something on their plate and they didn’t like it, then they didn’t have to eat it. As long as they took a bite and tried it, it wasn’t forced on them. They were served small portions and if they wanted more, they got more. There wasn’t a picky eater among them, so I guess my theory did work.
