I couldn't have an Easter Party without Mr. Miss McGregor's Garden!
Carrot Cupcakes
While Peter Cottontail was hopping down the bunny trail, he stopped off at my garden and just before he got into the carrot patch, I was able to catch him!
Thank goodness, or he would have eaten all the Peas and Carrots out of my garden. Oh yes, I grew some carrots...Cupcakes that is!
And you can grow some too.
Filled small terracotta pots with cupcake liners, sprayed with Pam. Make chocolate cake - (my favorite) fill 3/4 full and bake! Let them cool then frost with green frosting and a grass tip. My kind of gardening!
Now for the Carrots...Cookies!
Bake the carrot cookies.
Frost the cookies.
Clean the edge of each cookie.
Sprinkle w/sugar.
Add green tops and ribbon.
Stick in the Cupcake
After harvesting the peas & carrots, I added them to carrot shaped snack bags.
Add the Peas and Carrots (Jelly Beans) and a few peanuts to the Popcorn.
Then Drizzle with Chocolate (drizzling or dipping - it's better with chocolate)!
Break apart, fill the little carrot bags and then you'll have "Bunny Trail Mix"!
After the guests left with all their carrots, I was able to let Peter out from under the glass. He was very appreciative. And hot.
There Goes Peter Cottontail!
Your cupcakes are so cute! Love the "peas" and "carrots" in the trail mix too:)
ReplyDeleteYou are sooo creative Kim! I love reading all your party table settings! So fun!! Oh..yes...i've seen your storage boxes but these are for your cookie cutters right? Im wondering where does all your cake stands and all the props goes..hahaha.. like your plates, cake stands etc.. LOL! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Faithy! All of my party storage bins are shown along with my cookie cutter storage. (All in the organize catagory)
DeleteA beautiful garden! You definitely have a green thumb . I looked everywhere for the carrot bags, because everyone enjoyed them so much last year, but I couldn't locate any. They sure look nice with the theme of your decorations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna! I found the bags at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. I don't know if they would have any left - hope so!
DeleteLOVE your potted carrots! I may have to do this for my grandkids on Easter! This would be cute done with a flower cookie anytime of the year...thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri - I totally agree about the flower cookie...I've actually made some! :)
DeleteI just love your cookies and am so glad I found this site. Do you use a regular buttercream to frost your cookies?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the help. Cookies4kids
Thanks! I do, with added powdered sugar for stiffness.
DeleteYou have become quite the "Gardener"! AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteCHEERON!!!
I love your gardening methods. This is one garden like you, that I could grow. (big smile) Cute cute ideas. You never cease to amaze me with your ideas and creativity. I too think I'll be doing these for grandkids. My daughter also showed me the cutest carrot 'strawberries' covered in orange candy melts on pinterest. Think I'll use those instead of having to make the cookie carrots because of time. A little bit on the runt side but I think a little less work when I have to make 25. I'll put them in your darling cupcake pots though. Also you peas and carrtos are just delightful. Love 'em. So clever...so very clever!!!
ReplyDeleteThe only kind of garden I'll work in! The strawberries sound like so much fun too!
DeleteAw!! The cookies in the pots are just ADORABLE, and you decorated them beautifully! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by!
DeleteSuch wonderful Easter ideas. The cupcakes are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks - I hope I have time to share the rest of my ideas before Easter!
DeleteFun, fun, fun, Kim! I love all these ideas. And boy are you getting good with the tutorials. ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteI might be getting better - but not as good as you!! :)
DeleteMuch too cute! Sharing it on my FB page:)
ReplyDeleteThe carrots in pots are so cute!!
