Long-Eared Cupcakes

Lark & Linen's Easter Cupcake Recipe Puts a Festive Spin on Coconut

— April 1, 2015 — Lifestyle
Lark & Linen's coconut cupcake recipe is a super sweet one that can be transformed into an Easter cupcake recipe just by adding a marshmallow. The treat is prepared like a normal cupcake, but it's the creamy all-white topping, coconut sprinkles and halved marshmallows ears that really make this treat perfect for the holiday. The best part is that this versatile recipe can take up a spot in your cookbook year-round and be dressed up in the spring as needed to become a super special festive treat.

If you're really feeling inspired by this creative cupcake dessert idea, it's easy to imagine the fun that you could have in the kitchen when experimenting with different kinds of colors, decorations and marshmallow ears that are shaped differently.
