Easter Bird Nest Cupcakes

I saw these cute little Easter cupcakes online and decided to give them a try. 

 

They were super easy to make.  I used a packet Lemon Cake mix and the supplied lemon icing.  

Then I toasted some shredded coconut, which I have never done before, and it tasted yummo!  I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but for this I'll make an exception.

 

Then I cut a Cadbury mini egg in half and placed it on top with a mini chicken I got from the Dollar shop.  I had to secure them with a dab of icing which worked perfectly.

 

So not only did they look cute, they tasted amazing!

And the kids at preschool loved them.
