I’ve seen cupcakes in teacups before, and think it looks so very dainty!. I found an inexpensive cup and saucer at Ross, and placed a vanilla cupcake inside. Then I started to experiment with different fruit garnishes… 

Next I tried some fresh hydrangeas… and then some fake hydrangeas

Orange extract and orange zest make these little cupcakes tango on your taste buds! The adorable orange polka-dot bake cups came from Fancy Flours.

These egg cups are the perfect size for holding mini cupcakes! The heart-shaped Gobstopper candies are left over from Valentine’s, and the leaves are made of fondant:

I pushed yellow hearts part way into the frosting to make the little chickies below. I think big yellow jellybeans would work well too. I made the beaks out of fondant, and used a food marker to make the eyes.

These would make cute desserts/decorations for each place setting at an Easter dinner. Or you could give them away as charming little party favors.

Of course, rabbits are always an option too:

Are you picturing cute mini cupcakes inside?

Happy Easter!
