How to make easy Easter cupcakes! 
Impress your friends and family! They don't have to know how easy this is...

1. Start with jelly beans, cute bunnies, and cupcakes.


2. Color some icing by using a toothpick and green food coloring. I used Wilton gel color below. You can also use the green food coloring found in the supermarket.

3. Mix well, add to icing bag. Use metal tip #233. Remember, only the large part of the "coupler" goes INSIDE the bag. The metal tip and the plastic screw-on part of the coupler go on the outside.
Tip #233: You can also use this tip to
make "hair" and "tassels."
4. Squeeze the icing onto the cupcake then release the pressure and lift bag away quickly, creating the look of grass. Add a bunny and jelly beans and it's ready to go. Optional: Add the cute cupcake holder, below, sold at Michael's. There are tons of these online, as well.
Have fun!
