The most important part of these cupcakes is the buttercream frosting. The cupcakes are made of a basic vanilla batter, consisting of milk, vanilla extract, salt, eggs, sugar, butter, flour and baking powder. After they have baked and cooled, the fun begins — piping on the buttercream frosting so that it resembles flower petals. Put a chocolate candy in the center of each and voila! You have a pretty springtime treat to serve to your guests.

Lion and Lamb Cupcakes
It is amazing what you can do with marshmallows, frosting and candy. These lion and lamb cupcakes are two great examples of this. They start off looking like ordinary vanilla cupcakes covered in tasty frosting, although once the toppings are added, they are transformed into adorable treats that fit into the month of March perfectly: in like a lion and out like a lamb. Or is it the other way around?

Vanilla Cupcakes
Garbanzo bean- fava flour, arrowroot, and potato starch are the foundation for the Vegan, Gluten-free Vanilla Cupcakes. While those foundational ingredients may not sound appetizing on their own, when you add the lemon zest, agave nectar, vanilla extract and applesauce, you have the sweet components that create not only a more healthy dessert alternative, but a yummy variety as well. The vanilla frosting that completes this wholesome treat is just as healthy and yummy.

Easter Cupcakes Baked in Real Egg
For a taste of something both wacky and wonderful this Easter, consider serving egg shells filled with cake. Yes, you read that right. By creating a small hole in an eggshell and emptying its contents into a bowl, then, obviously, cleaning the shell very well, you are left with the perfect cupcake container. Pour a little of this lemon and sour cream cake batter into each shell and bake. The best comes when you serve them to guests and watch their eyes light up!

Garden Cupcake Frostings
Garden Cupcake Frostings are some of the easiest frostings you can make. Why; because they start with canned vanilla or white frosting. The “garden” flair comes in the form of extracts and food colorings, and of course in the edible and candy flowers and rainbow sprinkles. Raspberry extract along with red food coloring creates a beautiful hue as does the mint extract coupled with the green food coloring. These are sure to liven up any garden party.
