RECIPE :: Spring Birds Nest Cupcakes

It is FINALLY here!

It's spring! It's spring and I have been in the mood to create fun spring items whether I craft or make them. The other day while I was deciding what to make as a dessert to take to my momma's house, the idea came to me for these spring birds nest cupcakes! 

I WILL admit that this idea is NOT mine but one I saw on the back of a package of an edible Easter grass I picked up and knew it would be fun to make with my daughter and my momma! We had a blast making them together and I loved that it was something simple that we all enjoyed doing!

I just baked my favorite cupcakes and then transported them over to my mom's for all of us to work on after dinner. I happened to use a funfetti cake mix for these cupcakes and just a vanilla pre-made frosting.

It was simple, quick and oh so good!

Spring Birds Nest Cupcakes

~Ingredients ~

• 1 box of cake mix (your choice)
• 1 container of frosting (your choice)
• a bag of mini Robin Eggs
• 1 bag of edible Easter grass

 Instructions

1. Prepare and bake the cupcakes following the directions on the box.
2. Choose a frosting and go ahead and frost all of the cupcakes after they have completely cooled.
3. Using the edible Easter grass, break into small pieces, as it comes as long pieces in the package, and strategically place in a circle formation around the top of the cupcake until it starts to look like a birds nest. My edible grass pieces I used were about 1-2 inches long. 
4. Simply place three of the robins eggs in the middle to create the look of 'birds eggs' and you are done!
 

 

I told you these were easy. It was a fun little baking project to do with the girls and we had so much fun laughing at my mom eating all of the grass to my daughter using all of the blue robins eggs on her cupcakes! Silly girls! ;)

These cupcakes are great at Easter, spring or even would be really cute at a baby or wedding shower! It was a perfect 'food craft' to do with kids as well, which are my favorite! 

Have you ever made these cupcakes before? What was the last 'food craft' you made that you loved? Please share with me below . . .

DESIGN :: Watercolor Bridal Luncheon Invite

 

     
Hello there!

A couple weeks ago, I was all excited to share with you some of my recent client works that have been keeping me busy. I shared a few of the hand lettered prints I had completed plus a new custom watercolor invite that I was doing for a special friend.

Well I am excited to share a few more details with you today about that custom watercolor invite. It was designed for a bridal luncheon that was going to be a little bit rustic but elegant, simple but beautiful and an intimate gathering to celebrate this upcoming wedding.

We decided on a watercolor with illustrations of flowers, mason jars keeping with her color palette of gold, pink-ish peach and mint. I also wanted to hand letter the person of honor's name for the invite so I made sure to do that and have it stand out by using gold when inking it.

I love the way it turned out, my friend loved it and it's now available in my shop for you to order if you would like to have your own for a special event. 

 

Remember, if you EVER have any special custom design hand lettering idea requests, PLEASE feel free to email me anytime & I can design one for YOU! laura@eyecandycs.com

Have a great week!

REAL PARTY :: a Bridal Luncheon

     

A Bridal Luncheon

I am so excited to be bringing you this soiree today.  

Working with Laura on the invite to my soon-to-be daughter in law’s bridal luncheon was so much fun.  Laura told me she wanted to make this extra special. I gave her some ideas of what I was thinking in my scattered brain. She came up with this!

 

PERFECT in every way.  

Theme:  “Having A Ball Since 2009”

Color Scheme:  Light Pink, Blush, Gold and Burlap

I was so excited for the day to finally come.  It was a small affair with only 7 of us. (we have a small family)   We shared funny stories, tips for a happy marriage and swooned over her personal gifts from everyone. 

I was so happy with how everything turned out.   From the invites to the cookies – all was perfect for this special lunch.  

 Laura also surprised me with this burlap hand written BRIDE banner.  It was the extra touch needed.  The bride to be even took it home to hang it in her bridal suite for the wedding weekend! 

I can’t wait to share the entire wedding with you all at the end of the month.  Until then – Be Blessed
