Learn how to make these awesome Easter cupcakes that look like a carrot growing in the ground!! The neatest part about these is when you tear the cupcake open, the frosting stays in the shape of a real carrot, complete with chocolate cake sticking to it like dirt does to a carrot just pulled from the ground.
Thank you to imstillworkin for bringing this idea to my attention (hers was in cake form). I wanted to do a cupcake version and found these and instructions for making them on Wilton’s website. They call them ‘Bunny’s Carrot Garden Easter Cupcakes’ and can be found here: http://www.wilton.com/idea/Bunnys-Carrot-Garden-Easter-Cupcakes?cmp=pint2013&icid=0305bunnyscarrotgarden#
