I always love doing a little bit of themed baking, and Easter is probably the best out of them all. You have pastel colours, various flavours like lemon, carrot cake and chocolate, and so many decoration themes you can never get bored! So this year, I wanted to post a really fun Easter cupcake – chick cupcakes!<\/p>\n

The obvious idea about these is that they look like little Easter chicks – they’re cute, they are fun, and so so much easier to make than you think. I started off these easter chick cupcakes by making sure obviously the most of this bake was yellow<\/a> *obviously*, and why not make them lemon flavoured<\/a>?! <\/p>\n

Cupcake Cases<\/h3>\n

When I started thinking of doing a themed recipe like this, just like my carrot patch cupcakes, I wanted to make sure that everything fit the theme… including the cupcake cases.<\/p>\n

I decided to use some simple yellow muffin cases – side note, muffin cases are always better than cupcake cases as they can be weirdly small – because I wanted to make sure that the cases basically blended into the sponges. This is obviously completely optional, but I just love how they looked as they almost blended with the baked yellow coloured sponge. <\/p>\n

Cupcake Sponge<\/h3>\n

I used a simple sponge recipe mixed together until beautifully smooth. I usually mix my butter and sugar until fluffy as this makes sure there are no butter lumps, and then I add all my flour and eggs in one go. There are various methods to this, but this is my favourite by far. <\/p>\n
