Easy Spring Cupcakes

To make the yellow cupcakes… Just use a regular white cake mix and add 7-8 drops of yellow food coloring to the mixture. Then pour into cupcake liners and bake according to box cake package directions. Yellow cupcakes would be best for a baby chick theme.

Frost your cupcakes with the Funfetti Neon yellow frosting or add a couple of drops of yellow food coloring to white icing and then frost.

Place 2 orange heart candy towards the bottom of the cupcake to represent the feet. Then place a gumball in the center of the cupcake. Add a dot of frosting to the back of each eye and place on the gumball — repeat step with the remaining cupcakes.

Melt the orange chocolate discs according to package directions and place them in a sandwich size baggie and snip the corner just a tiny bit. Pipe on a little beak underneath the eyes and let them dry.

Enjoy these fun Cupcakes for Easter or anytime of the year!
