I made these with my four year old son and we LOVED making them. I just used a store bought cake mix, but did make the frosting and it was so good with it! I cut the frosting recipe in 1/2 also and had enought to frost 24 cupecakes! Thanks for this FUN recipe!

These cupcake easter baskets are so sweet and so easy to make, they're a keeper for sure. I have grandchildren and every one of them looks forward to seeing me at Easter as they know they'll get these cupcakes.

I made only 1/2 recipe of icing and it was plenty. I had a difficult time finding the licorice rope so I used red licorice twists and inserted a toothpick in each end and then placed in cupcake. The handles are very sturdy.

The frosting is awesome - light and easy to spread. I only used 1 cup of powdered sugar and it's sweet enough. The frosting recipe made about twice the amount I needed, so next time I'll cut it in half.

I made these last year, but the licorice handle kept flopping over. So I used pipe cleaners instead. They looked great and I received a lot of compliments on them.Cathy in Michigan
