Spring & Easter Cupcakes

A few days ago on my daughter Sarah's 8th birthday we baked together.  She loves cupcakes and she loves to decorate with me, so I baked some cupcakes and I let the kids decorate some of them... and I decorated the rest for Spring & Easter.

That (above) is the cupcake she made for me... isn't that pretty?

After making the Easter & Spring Sugar Cookies, I had been in the mood to make some Spring and Easter inspired cupcakes too!  So, I made these... starting with this one that looks like a decorated egg...

And this Easter Chick...

And some with spring flowers (leftovers from the Bridal Shower Cake)...

And some with Malted Milk Candy Eggs...

And some with both...

And some just with sprinkles...

I love the way they all turned out.

So bright and happy and well... just pretty.  Oohh... and I colored the cake batter too.  Just for fun.

These were vanilla cupcakes, by the way.  With this is vanilla buttercream and other miscellaneous decorations.

Did I miss any details?  Do you have any questions about these cupcakes?  Please leave them in the comments!
