Russell Stover Coconut Cream Cupcakes - Mother's Day

This is definitely a seasonal item.  I could never find enough Russell Stover coconut cream eggs for this cupcake.  Luckily my mother, who LOVES RS coconut cream eggs, was able to find about 10 of them.  So this became the Mother's Day cupcake this year.

These came out absolutely amazing!  These cupcakes are a chocolate cake, stuffed with one half of a Russell Stover coconut cream egg (one half because a whole one was too big), topped with a coconut cream buttercream and coconut flakes.

I think I'll add this one as my first seasonal item.  While some of the Christmas time cupcakes also could be considered seasonal, they are also somewhat easy to replicate.  But you can't replicate these coconut cream eggs!  So seasonal this one is.  And they are so yummy!  A glass of milk or cup of coffee is definitely warranted!!

Coming Up!

I am still working on the Snickers Cupcake recipe....why?  Because I don't exactly measure (and I'm in the middle of college finals).....I do it all by sight so I have to go back and work out what I did!  LOL  So I promise by the time the Cinco De Mayo cupcakes are up later this week, yes I know a week early, I'll have the Snickers up too.

Coming up are a few things......

Cinco De Mayo Cupcakes - adults only

Kit Kat Cupcakes - gimme a break

Milano Melts Cupcakes - my new fav cookie

Mother's Day Chocolate Robed Cupcakes - enveloped in love like MOM

Coming up!!

Sunday was the first day of Spring!!  Expect 3 Spring Cupcakes within the next week or so topped with 3 of my favorite flowers in either gumpaste or fondant.  

Also a Guava Cream Cheese Cupcake this week some time.

Once I get done with some of my major requirements for school, there's about a month left, I can start working on the Bridal Cupcakes.  It's just something I have in my mind that I would really like to "try".

Oh I also have an Easter Cupcake I want to make in mid April and something that's not really a cupcake but looks like fun!

I'll also present the Mother's Day cupcake in mid April.
