Easter Eggs

For my college graduation, my aunts gave me this really cool cookbook that is a cupcake decorating guide. It has some of the neatest ideas in it and since we got married, we thought it would be such a cool date night activity. So earlier this week, Leisa came across the book and started looking for something related to Easter and found this really neat one called "Easter Eggs". They looked so cool in the book and so we gave it a try tonight.

This afternoon we made 24 cupcakes and set them aside. This evening we started making the frosting and dividing it up and adding the different necessary food colorings.

The eggs are just gram crackers cut into the shape of eggs. So Leisa did that while I frosted all of them the different colors.

After we had frosted all of them, we started decorating them, trying to be as creative as we could. It was so much fun to see what ideas we were coming up with.

At the very end, we had to frost the cupcakes and put the egg on top and then add green frosting around the edges to make it look like grass.

We are really happy with the way they came out and some of ours look good enough to go in the book!

This is us with our favorite one that we decorated!
We know, it's cheesy! Get over it!

We had tons of fun making them and now the families we home teach and visit teach are going to have a fun surprise!!

P.S. If you want to see a set of cupcakes that my sister-in-law Bridget made using this cookbook, check out this blog post. Awesome!
