The birds are chirping, the flowers and the trees start to bloom, and all this idyll is reminding me of the opening scene of Bambie when all forest animals started joyfully pottering about. This is the exact picture we had in mind and wanted to pass to our sweet temptation that is in front of your eyes, and I think we managed to achieve the desired outcome.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These chocolate cupcakes Easter Meadow are a little masterpiece that will delight everyone. The only things you need to give them the final touch, are chocolate mini eggs (we just bought them from the shop but you can also make them of fondant), green food colouring, <a class=\"thirstylink\" href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/refer\/grass-piping-nozzle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">grass piping nozzle<\/span><\/a> and, optionally, mini fondant flowers. Actually, these Easter cupcakes are much easier to make than you think, and the end result is definitely worth it.<\/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\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7489 size-full\" title=\"Easter Nest Cupcakes Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe.jpg\" alt=\"Easter Nest Cupcakes Recipe\" width=\"758\" height=\"1136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-400x599.jpg 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-450x674.jpg 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe-600x899.jpg 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-Recipe.jpg 758w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #fa908e;\">Ingredients for 18 Easter Meadow Cupcakes:<\/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>115 ml milk<\/li>\n<li>4 large eggs<\/li>\n<li>6 tbsp. cocoa<\/li>\n<li>2 tsp. baking powder<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. orange essence<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd tsp. salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #fa908e;\">For the buttercream and decoration:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>400 g powdered sugar<\/li>\n<li>150 g cream cheese<\/li>\n<li>125 g butter, softened<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. vanilla<\/li>\n<li>Green food colouring<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate mini eggs<\/li>\n<li>Optional &#8211; fondant in different colours to cut out mini flower decorations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7490 size-full\" title=\"Easter Nest Cupcakes\" src=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes.png\" alt=\"Easter Nest Cupcakes\" width=\"758\" height=\"1136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-100x150.png 100w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-400x599.png 400w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-450x674.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes-600x899.png 600w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Easter-Nest-Cupcakes.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: #fa908e;\">Easter\u00a0Meadow Cupcakes Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Preheat the oven to\u00a0175\u00b0C.
