Make a Bird's Nest Ornament
Candy Bird Nest Craft for Kids and Parents
Tips for an Easter Egg Hunt
Basic homemade frosting will work for bird's nest cupcakes, but a can of pre-made frosting will also work for fast cupcake decoration. Traditional white or vanilla frosting can be tinted with blue food coloring to form a soft baby-blue sky shade lighter than canned blue frosting. Decorative icing pipe tips can be used to create a pattern around the cupcake's circumference.
Blue Sky and White Clouds for Cupcakes
Break apart shredded wheat squares, frosted or plain, filling a bowl with crushed or torn fiber and debris. This material will form the nest [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along with edible "glue" made from powdered sugar and milk with a dash of lemon juice. Mix one-half cup of milk with one cup powdered sugar, adding more milk as needed until a thick past-like liquid is formed.Shape the fiber into rounded nests on a sheet of wax paper, forming nests slightly smaller than the cupcake tops. Drizzle the icing over it to secure the shape, then let the nests dry for an hour.Choose colorful jellybeans or marbleized version as eggs. Decorative malt eggs also make a good miniature choice for filling the bird's nest, along with hand-made marzipan eggs (or marshmallow Peep's chicks as well). Secure them inside with a daub or two of icing.Finishing the Cupcakes
Any flavor of cupcake is perfect for decorating with a miniature nest and eggs. From Easter celebrations to baby showers, the sweet treats on top are perfect for celebrating a mother-to-be or a special spring event.
Different flavors of candy can be used to decorate the top [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including foil-wrapped chocolate eggs or peanut M&M's as miniature colorful shells. Health-conscious cooks can substitute organic honey for the icing "glue" that secures the nests and their ornaments in place
[/b]Topping a cupcake with a miniature bird's nest requires only a few minutes and a few simple ingredients; there's room for creative alterations within the technique, meaning other ingredients can be substituted for the traditional shredded wheat.
Use spun sugar or white cotton candy to form clouds along the cupcake edges. Pull apart the fibers to form a thin [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], soft, and fluffy white sugar that resembles real clouds; tint the edges softly with a little pink food coloring if desired.
Secure the nest to the top of the cupcake using a daub of fresh frosting on the bottom or some of the bird's nest icing. Adjust the clouds around the nest and wipe away any smeared frosting along the side of the nest.
