Easter Bunny Cupcakes

1 serving

Ingredients:

  • A cupcake (baked from your favourite recipe)
  • White icing
  • Shredded coconut
  • Pink sugar (make by mixing a few drops of pink colouring with 1 cup caster sugar)
  • Jellybean nose
  • Candy eyes
  • Food-safe pen (to draw pupils)
  • Large marshmallow
  • Mini marshmallows

Directions:

  1. Frost a cupcake with white icing and sprinkle on shredded coconut for the fur.
  2. Cut a large marshmallow in half width-wise. Squeeze each half slightly to give it an oval shape, then decorate the sticky side of each one by dipping into the pink sugar; set in place for ears.
  3. Add a jellybean nose and pop on candy eyes. Draw pupils with food-safe pen.
  4. Add mini marshmallows for cheeks.

Makes 16 squares

hot cross brownies
Ingredients:

  • 200g cooking chocolate
  •  200g butter
  • 220g caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 120g plain flour
  • 150g walnuts, roughly chopped
  • Small servings of pastel and white coloured icing to decorate

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line brownie pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt butter and chocolate together in double boiler, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
3. Stir the sugar into the chocolate mixture until it’s dissolved, and allow to cool until tepid.
4. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl; add a little at a time to the chocolate mixture.
5. Add in the walnuts, then carefully fold in the flour. Do not over-mix.
6. Pour into the baking tray and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Let cool completely, then cut into bite-sized squares. Decorate with pastel coloured icing.

Devilled Egg Chicks

Serves 10

Ingredients:

  • 10 large eggs, hard-boiled (8 minutes)
  • 2 tablespoons whole egg mayonnaise
  • 1½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 small carrot, peeled and sliced into rings
  • 3 packets of Mamee ready-to- eat noodles to make the nest (or substitute with fresh parsley)
  • 4 black olives
    Note: You’ll also need a sharp knife and a plastic straw

Instructions:

  1. Peel hard-boiled eggs. With a sharp knife, slice off a very thin layer from the base of the egg so it can stand. Cut a generous top off the egg, and set top aside. Using a small melon baller, scoop out the yolk carefully (be careful not to break the white part!).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 10 cooked yolks and mash well with a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon, garlic powder and salt. Mash everything together until smooth. Transfer mixture to Ziploc or pastry bag and pipe generously into egg bases. Place top 1/3 back over the base and press down slightly to adhere.
  3. For the eyes, poke through an olive with a plastic straw several times, then gently squeeze down the straw, and the little circles of olives will pop right out. For the beaks, thinly slice a few rings of carrot and cut each ring into sixths. Insert two olive spots for the eyes and two carrots wedges for the beak. Set chicks on a platter and garnish with noodles, or parsley or dill to give them that “free range” feel.
