Easter cupcakes are easy to make and fun to share with colorful icing and delicious spring cupcake recipes. Easter is a holiday about new life, fitting that it falls in spring.

Spring is the season of nature waking up; it feels like nature is being brought back to life. Trees are green again, flowers bloom, and the world feels brighter. We can pull these things into our baking in fun ways.

Cupcakes are usually colorful, but they can get even brighter during spring. The cakes themselves can be colorful, but the icing is where we really start to get creative.

But the icing and the colors aren’t all that makes cupcakes Easter cupcakes. We can also pull in themes from the holiday and fruits from the season. Together, these ingredients and ideas make special cupcakes that encapsulate the season and celebrations.

Easter Cupcakes That Are Fun and Easy

Easter desserts are filled with sweet flavor. We wake up to Easter baskets filled with candy eggs, sugary beans, and marshmallows shaped like chicks. We can use those treats as inspiration for our cupcakes.

Of course, we can’t forget the star of the show, the Easter Bunny. The bunny is a popular icon of Easter and deserves a place on our cupcakes. After all, we already have plenty of candy shaped like the bunny.

We might as well use those professionally made candies in or on our cupcakes to make them more easily fit into the Easter egg hunts.

Easter Traditions

Everyone has their own traditions for any given holiday. The US, for example, celebrates summer holidays with BBQ and fireworks. But Easter isn’t a US holiday; it is a worldwide holiday. The traditional food for Easter in the US is ham.

But a ham cupcake doesn’t sound very appetizing (or does it?) Luckily, a UK Easter tradition can also be brought here, the simnel cake. Simnel cake is a fruit cake with marzipan.
