Recipe of the Week: Spring Cupcakes

For the cupcake:
1 package of Trader Joe's Vanilla Bean Cake Mix
1 stick of butter (or 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup apple sauce)
1 cup cold low fat milk
2 eggs

For the top:
2 cups shredded coconut
1 and 1/2 cups confectionery sugar
dash of milk
Cadbury Mini Eggs

Line muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Prepare batter and bake according to box.

Spread coconut on a baking sheet.
Put in the already heated oven for about 5 minutes or until starts to brown. Remove and let cool.

Mix a little milk into the confectionery sugar so that it's glaze-like in texture. When the cupcakes are cooled, cut a bit off the tops to create a flat surface. Put glaze onto the flat top and then sprinkle with the toasted coconut around the edges to form the shape of a nest.

Dip the bottoms of the chocolate eggs into the glaze and place in the middle.

Makes about a dozen.
