With Easter just a couple of days away, I thought I’d post a super cute and simple idea for Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes. I’m a sucker for anything miniaturized, so when I laid my eyes upon mini Cadbury Creme Eggs at Target I immediately threw them into my cart. At that moment I was unsure if I was going simply consume them until I got a stomach ache or create an Easter themed dessert.
After tossing around a few ideas, I decided to make cupcakes. I knew I wanted to bake mini egg into the center, because seriously can it get any better than a Cadbury Egg baked into a cupcake? I think not. Then I experienced a brief moment of brilliance and thought it would be pretty darn adorable and festive to pipe the frosting to mimic an egg.
I don’t really have a recipe for you, this is just more of an method on how to execute the idea.

Cadbury Creme Egg Cupcakes
Ingredients:
- 24 paper cupcake liners
- Batter for 24 cupcakes. Box mix works fine or simply use your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe, it’s your call.
- 48 Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs (24 frozen) - You’ll use the frozen ones inside the cupcake batter. Freezing the eggs keeps them from completely vanishing inside the baked cake.
- 1 batch of buttercream frosting
- yellow dye
- Large Round piping tip or snip the end off of a piping bag.
Directions:
- Scoop batter into paper liner 2/3 of the way full. Place one frozen Mini Cadbury Creme Egg into the middle of each cupcake. Use a spatula to spread the batter over the egg.
- Bake according to the recipe you are using. Allow cupcakes to cool completely.
- While your cupcakes are cooking, make your buttercream. My favorite recipe can be found within this Fundamentals Buttercream Frosting Post.
- Remove about 1 cup of buttercream from the mixing bowl and dye it yellow.
- Assemble your piping bag fitted with a large tip and pipe a large circle around the perimeter of the cupcake.
- Fill in the center of the circle with the yellow buttercream and top with a Mini Cadbury Cream Egg.

This is the most fantastic cupcake idea I have ever seen in my entire life
They look perfect and delicious! Congratulations! You are an artist. :)
oh i am putting these on my list of things to make for next year, wow they look great!!
Love the tip for freezing the eggs before baking! I might test this with other gooey chocolates. After seeing my daughter experience her first Creme Egg this Easter, I think I might just have to file this idea away for next year. Beautiful photography too.
I wish I had seen these before Easter! How adorable!
How fun! Thank you for sharing. I linked to this on my blog today. Hope that’s okay!
Blessings,
Holly
