Easter is a holiday filled with bright colors, fresh flavors, and beautiful cupcake opportunities! Easter cupcakes can be fun to make and just as easy as dying eggs. The trick is pulling in the holiday colors and mixing them with the season’s flavors.
Easter cupcakes are easy to make and fun to share with colorful icing and delicious spring cupcake recipes. Easter is a holiday about new life, fitting that it falls in spring.
Spring is the season of nature waking up; it feels like nature is being brought back to life. Trees are green again, flowers bloom, and the world feels brighter. We can pull these things into our baking in fun ways.
Cupcakes are usually colorful, but they can get even brighter during spring. The cakes themselves can be colorful, but the icing is where we really start to get creative.
But the icing and the colors aren’t all that makes cupcakes Easter cupcakes. We can also pull in themes from the holiday and fruits from the season. Together, these ingredients and ideas make special cupcakes that encapsulate the season and celebrations.
Sounds complicated, like something only pros can do. But there are plenty of cupcake recipes that you can use to complete the project. Get creative and have fun; sure, they may not look exactly like the Pinterest pin.
But that’s what makes cupcakes unique. No one is expecting perfection with your holiday recipes. Instead, the effort and the flavor are what matters.

Easter desserts are filled with sweet flavor. We wake up to Easter baskets filled with candy eggs, sugary beans, and marshmallows shaped like chicks. We can use those treats as inspiration for our cupcakes.
Of course, we can’t forget the star of the show, the Easter Bunny. The bunny is a popular icon of Easter and deserves a place on our cupcakes. After all, we already have plenty of candy shaped like the bunny.
We might as well use those professionally made candies in or on our cupcakes to make them more easily fit into the Easter egg hunts.

Easter Traditions
Everyone has their own traditions for any given holiday. The US, for example, celebrates summer holidays with BBQ and fireworks. But Easter isn’t a US holiday; it is a worldwide holiday. The traditional food for Easter in the US is ham.
But a ham cupcake doesn’t sound very appetizing (or does it?) Luckily, a UK Easter tradition can also be brought here, the simnel cake. Simnel cake is a fruit cake with marzipan.
Try incorporating that tradition into your Easter cupcakes for a new tradition in your family.
