For Ostara
cake mix or scratch cake
white frosting
grated coconut
green food coloring
Marshmallow chicks (yellow, pink, white, blue or lavender)
jelly beans
Bake cupcakes according to directions. Allow to cool completely. Frost with icing tinted green with the food coloring.
Place the desired amount of coconut a plastic bag, add a small dab of green food color. Close the bag and mix and shake until color is evenly distributed. If you use liquid coloring spread the coconut out on a paper towel so it dries a bit.
Sprinkle colored coconut on top of frosted cupcakes and place a chick in the center. Add a few jelly beans around the chick, so they look like eggs.
Chocolate Easter Eggs
Cream filled eggs just like the store bought ones.
* 1 cup soft butter
* 2 tsp salt
* 4 tsp vanilla
* 1 can condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
* 10 cups icing sugar
* 1 tsp. yellow food coloring
* 1 lb. semi-sweet chocolate
* 1/4 of a block of canning wax (it comes in 4 blocks to a 1 pound package)
Beat the butter, salt and vanilla until fluffy. Add milk, beat in sugar. Blend until stiff. Dust with brown sugar. Knead til smooth.
Set aside a little more then 2/3 of the mixture. To the remaining mixture add yellow food coloring and blend well. Divide yellow and white into 16 or 24 pieces. Shape yellow into balls and mould white around yellow to form an egg shape. Dry at room temperature on paper towels for 24 hours.
Melt the chocolate and wax in double boiler or in microwave until smooth. Dip eggs in chocolate, let cool then dip the other end or put a toothpick in them deep enough to be secure and dip to the top of the toothpick, fill in the toothpick hole with a dab of chocolate. Once dipped cool at room temperature. Refrigerate after cooling.
When sliced these eggs will have a white cream filling with a yellow filling that appears to be the yolk. They look nice sitting in an Easter basket!!
