Harry skilfully started making beaks out of fondant like working with it is her second nature, and I commenced drawing curious and smiling eyes. The result was so stunning that everyone who saw or tried them, said they&#8217;re too beautiful to eat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oh well, our goal wasn&#8217;t exactly that but we were very happy with the outcome. These charming Easter Nest cupcakes are the perfect decoration for your festive feast and will delight adults and children equally. If you are invited as a guest or simply want to surprise a loved one, you can wrap them up and give them as a gift.<\/p>\n<!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7497 size-full\" title=\"How to make Easter Nest Cupcakes\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1.png\" alt=\"How to make Easter Nest Cupcakes\" width=\"758\" height=\"1136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1-100x150.png 100w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1-400x599.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1-450x674.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1-600x899.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/How-to-make-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-1.png 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">Ingredients for 18 Easter Nest Cupcakes:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>250 g flour<\/li>\n<li>250 g butter, softened<\/li>\n<li>200 g sugar<\/li>\n<li>150 g blueberries<\/li>\n<li>115 ml milk<\/li>\n<li>4 large eggs<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. rum<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp. baking powder<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp. salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">Ingredients for the buttercream and Easter Decoration :<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>400 g icing sugar<\/li>\n<li>150 g cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>125 g butter, softened<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>Green and brown food colouring<\/li>\n<li>Yellow and orange fondant<\/li>\n<li>Black edible marker<\/li>\n<li>Optional &#8211; a few additional fondant colours to cut out spring flowers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7499 size-full\" title=\"Vanilla Easter Nest Cupcakes Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe.png\" alt=\"The Best Easter Nest Cupcakes\" width=\"758\" height=\"1136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-100x150.png 100w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-400x599.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-450x674.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-600x899.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Vanilla-Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe.png 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"> <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Ad 3 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8204055174938380\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2323002750\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #ffcc00;\">Easter\u00a0Nest\u00a0Cupcakes Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Preheat the oven to\u00a0175\u00b0C.

Cut out an elongated rhombus shape and gently fold it in the middle to make an open beak. Lightly brush with water the part that you&#8217;re going to glue to the chick and place it gently. Repeat the procedure with all remaining chicks and place them into the Easter nests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a
