Chickadee Easter Cupcake recipe
While standing in line at the grocery store I saw a glimpse of some adorable cupcakes on the front of a magazine that looked like little chicks.  I thought they looked easy enough to make and so I thought for a fun Easter treat I would try duplicating what I saw.  These Chickadee Easter Cupcakes would be fun for the kids to help you make, and would spice up your Easter dinner by adding a little festive treat.  Sometimes it more about having fun then serious cooking!
