Top Tips
- Use gel food coloring for vibrant pastel shades: Liquid food coloring can make your frosting runny and the colors often look washed out, so invest in gel or paste food coloring to achieve those beautiful Easter pinks, purples, yellows, and greens without changing your frosting's consistency.
- Pipe frosting into grass tips for easy nests: A grass piping tip (like Wilton #233) makes creating textured frosting nests incredibly simple, and you can use green-tinted coconut or colored frosting to mimic grass before tucking in candy eggs or chocolate treats.
- Toast your coconut for deeper flavor: If you're using shredded coconut as a topping or mixing it into batter, spread it on a baking sheet and toast it at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until golden, watching carefully to prevent burning, as this brings out a richer, nuttier flavor.
- Chill cupcakes before decorating for cleaner results: Let your cupcakes cool completely and even refrigerate them for 15-20 minutes before frosting, as this helps the frosting set more smoothly and prevents it from melting or sliding off, especially important when working with intricate Easter designs.
