Ingredients

24 cupcakes, baked and cooled (I just used a box mix and the ingredients it called for.)
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
2 drops green food coloring
70-100 jelly beans, (or other egg-shaped candy, such as M&M's or Robin's Eggs)
2 cups frosting, (You can make your own or use store-bought and just tint it to be the color you want. Here is my favorite frosting recipe)

Equipment

Pipe Cleaners

Instructions

Prepare the cupcakes as directed on the box.
In a ziplock bag, combine the coconut with the food color, and shake it up until the coconut is green.
Decorate your Cupcakes by spreading on frosting, topping it with coconut and jelly beans, then adding your pipe cleaner basket holder.
