How To Make easter basket cupcakes

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Make, bake and cool cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes.

Step 2

Mix the coconut with any food coloring in a bowl, drip a few drops of another food coloring into the frosting and mix well. Pull the twizzlers apart and cut into about 2 to 3 inches long.
Step 3

Spread frosting onto the cupcakes, sprinkle the shredded coconut (grass) on top of the frosting, add 3 jelly beans (eggs) in the center of the cupcakes, and add the twizzler (basket handle) to the cupcake, pushing the licorice into the cupcake, about 1/2 a inch for support.
