Just make your favorite flavor cupcakes and then get your frosting ready. I use my own buttercream but you can use canned if you do not like to make your own.
Get a decorating bag ready and use a Wilton Multi-Opening Decorating Tip 233. Tint your frosting green with Wilton Gel Coloring or you can use liquid food coloring if you want. Then just squeeze and pull up to create grass.
In the grass you can put a PEEPS bunny or chick, little M & M eggs, Robin’s Eggs, Jelly Beans, or chocolate covered almonds. You can also use some white buttercream and make little nests with an open crown tip and fill with candy eggs. You can sprinkle the nests with sugar decor to make them sparkle or coconut flakes.
Another great tip I got from a friend is to bake your eggs instead of boiling for coloring. You just put your eggs in a muffin tin and bake at 325 degrees for exactly 25 minutes. Do not over bake! You will get great eggs with no cracks! I tried it and love it!
Happy Easter from Mommy Ramblings!!!

The greatest testimonial on the non-stick surface of this pan, is that as I sat down to post this review, I asked my husband if he had cleaned the pan yet. When he told me he had not, I ran into the kitchen to look at the pan. There was next to nothing in it and a quick wipe of a towel had it looking brand new.
We are very impressed with these pans and highly recommend them if you are looking for a safe non-stick pan. Please check their website as they have a wide range of products. www.green-pan.com Thank you again Green Pan for making a product I feel confident using around my family and pets.
I have always been an animal person, always had a dog growing up along with an array kittens, bunnies, hamsters, fish and more through the years. Secretly I longed to live on a farm with a huge barn filled with horses, goats, lambs and chickens. We live in the country now. Farms are all around us. Urban farming is something that is very trendy now and people even in the city are raising chickens and growing gardens. Well, after a lot of research I told my husband I wanted to get a chicken coop and run built and get about 8 hens. I wanted brown, blue/green and white eggs. I wanted the satisfaction of going into our hen house and collecting our organic, free range eggs. I longed for my kids to experience that. Unfortunately, my husband was not as enthused, maybe because he takes care of all of “our” animals. He looked and looked for cons on the topic but could not find enough. So he made me a deal, we would get a female American Bulldog puppy and he would commit to one litter with our male American Bulldog Puppy. Enough said, and I was off and running to find the perfect female pup. I found her and fast, her name at the breeder is Ariel but we are going to be naming her something else. She is 4 weeks old and adorable, we can take her home at 8 weeks. If you ever want a great family dog, look no further than the American Bulldog. This will be our third and we love the breed so so much. I cannot imagine our lives without at least one of these “gentle giants” sharing it with us. So from chickens we get bulldogs, almost sounds like, “With Six You Get Egg Roll.”
