Easter Nest Cupcakes

Easter Nest Cupcakes
"A boxed cake mix, a can of chocolate frosting, coconut and food coloring, and a heap of chocolate candy eggs come together to make the cutest batch of birds nest cupcakes. Adorned with green shredded coconut as the grass and candy eggs perched in a frosted nest, these little Easter nest cupcakes are as cute as a cupcake gets! Plus, they’re actually easy to make with a quick box mix and a tub of chocolate frosting. "
