Ingredients

• 1 (18.25 ounce) box cake mix* (any flavor desired)
• Confectioners' sugar icing (tinted green)
• Coconut (tinted green)
• Jelly beans
• Colored pipe stems

Instructions

1. Prepare cupcakes as directed on cake mix package.
2. Ice with white icing that has been tinted green like grass with green food coloring. Add green tinted coconut. Next, place jelly bean eggs on grass. Add colored pipe stems, bending to resemble Easter basket handles.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
