Easter cupcake recipes that will make you smile 😊
Inspired to try some Easter baking? These seasonal cupcakes are the perfect place to start.
Easter is just around the corner (it falls on Sunday 31 March this year) and we're looking for fun ways to celebrate! Baking is one of our go-to activities for a fun-filled weekend.
When it comes to baking we love making Easter biscuits, centrepiece cakes and lots of cupcakes as they're easy to bake and fun to decorate (especially with the help from friends or little ones).
And what better around easter time than a carrot cake cupcake? If it's good enough for the Easter bunny, it's good enough for us!
Our rose and rhubarb cupcakes are almost too pretty to eat - topped with a rhubarb ribbon for extra decadence. They'll go down a treat with family members.
Brown butter is all the rage right now, so why not use it in your cupcake recipe for a nuttier flavour?
