Hi friends! Now that we’ve made it past St. Patrick’s Day, I think we can focus our full attention on Easter crafts and recipes – and we have a great one for you today – Easter Basket Cupcakes! These are again straight from Grandma’s Kitchen. My mother is probably the best baker that I know, and I love that she loves to make fun treats for our family. Last week we shared her famous Honey Caramel Corn with you, and this week we’re sharing these adorable cupcakes!
She made them in just a few easy steps…
