These Easter Bunny & Chick Cupcakes are so cute! I’m sharing this easy recipe from Stork that would be fun to use and bake with the kids during the Easter holidays. I hope you like it.
Ingredients:
For the Cupcakes
150g Stork with butter
150g caster sugar
3 medium eggs
150g self-raising flour (or 150g flour and 1 tsp baking powder)
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of ½ lemon
For the Frosting
125g Stork with butter
350g icing sugar
Juice of ½ lemon
A little yellow food colouring
To decorate
Orange ready to roll icing
Small choc chip sprinkles
12 yellow cupcake liners
Oven Temp: 160c (fan)/180c/Gas Mark 4
Makes: 12 cupcakes
Freezing: Cupcakes are suitable for freezing, undecorated.
Preparation Time: 35 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes
Easter Bunny & Chick Cupcakes Method:
- Line a cupcake pan with yellow paper liners and preheat the oven to 160c (fan)/180c/Gas Mark 4.
- Cream together the Stork with butter and sugar until light and fluffy and then beat in the lemon zest.
- Add the eggs one at time beating the mixture well after each.
- Fold through the flour and lemon juice until smooth and well blended.
- Divide the mixture between the paper cases and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until golden and springy to the touch.
- Transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack and allow to cool fully.
- Beat together the Stork with Butter, icing sugar and lemon juice to make the frosting. Add a little yellow food colouring to colour the frosting a golden yellow.
- Cover the tops of the cupcakes with frosting, spreading with a palette knife.
- Roll out some of the orange sugarpaste on your work surface lightly dusted with icing sugar to prevent it from sticking. For each chick cut 2 triangular feet with a sharp knife. Cut out 2 triangular wings and mark on lines for the feathers using the knife.
For the beak cut a square and make an indent diagonally. Gently fold the indented square to make the beak.
- Add 2 small choc chip sprinkles to the top of the cupcake to form the eyes and add the beak, feet and wings.
- Serve.
