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.

These are way cute and creative! They dont seem too hard either, I might not be able to make such nice handles though.
