Cupcake Nest

I had one little cupcake left over from a batch I’d made and while my daughter and her friend were decorating chocolate crispy nests and chocolate pretzel nests, I decided to try to make a cupcake nest.  I only had a green cupcake left but I would probably have used a vanilla or chocolate cupcake. 

First I cut out the center.

Then I piped a ring of icing around the edge so I’d have something for the sprinkles to stick to, and it would cover the green cupcake.

I put flower and heart sprinkles around the edge, but you could use anything.  Then I filled the hollow in the cupcake with eggs and tried both the oreo truffle chicks on top.  I still think the brown eyed chick is cuter.

My children all fought over who got to eat the cupcake nest, so it was obviously good.
