Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 box of yellow cupcake mix
Frosting:
- 4 sticks Grassland unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
Toppings:
- 3 cups shredded coconut
- Green food coloring
- 1 bag jelly beans
Instructions
Cake:
- Prepare cupcakes via box directions.
- After baking cupcakes, frost them generously with vanilla buttercream, and add toppings.
Frosting:
- Use stand mixer to whip the butter on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes, or until fluffy.
- Reduce speed to low and add powdered sugar a little bit at a time. Stop to scrape sides of bowl if necessary. Once all of the powdered sugar is in mixer, increase the speed to medium-high and add the vanilla. Whip at medium-high speed until mixed, about 2 minutes, scraping the bowl as needed.
Toppings:
- Place coconut in a bowl and add food dye until reaching a color similar to grass. Add on top of vanilla frosting.
- Add your favorite Easter candy as toppings to the cupcakes. We used coconut shreds, jelly beans, and white chocolate. You can add anything to your Easter creation.
