Today I am making  Easter Basket Cupcakes.  These little baskets would be perfect for Easter or May Day!

Simply melt a little chocolate candy coating or chocolate chips. Place the melted chocolate in a zip loc bag. Snip off a tiny bit of one corner of the bag. Pipe the chocolate onto wax paper. I drew a handle shape on a piece of copy paper and place wax paper on top.  It gave me a guide and I could slide the wax paper around using the guide over and over.

Allow basket handles to harden completely and then stick them into the frosting on your favorite cupcake.  I used sugar flowers for my basket, but you could easily pipe flowers or fill the basket with jelly beans or colorful chocolate eggs.

  3. So fun, i love those basket cupcakes. And i know my boys would have a blast making that bunny hutch

  4. I love the cupcakes. I was trying to guess what the handle was when I first saw the picture. I thought it must be some kind of purchased cookie. I really love that it is something you make yourself. I will have to try these. Thanks for the idea!

  5. Oh this is a blast from the past! My mom use to make the basket handles the same way! She also would make baskets by painting chocolate inside cupcake holders ‘gluing’ the handles on & they’d be filled with little chocolate chicks & bunnies she made from molds. I’ve been eyeballin’ the bunny hutch for a few years now!

  6. I love how easy these are! This is simple enough a beginner can do…or even a non baker! Buy the prefrosted cupcakes and add the decorations! Fantastic! Thanks
