{Sugar Bee} Coconut Macaroon Cupcakes

This year for our Easter celebration I wanted to make some yummy cupcakes, but I wanted to create something in addition to than the traditional carrot cake. After a little bit of brainstorming I remembered the egg nest cookie I created a number of years ago and thought this could be fun but in cupcake form. Thus, I decided upon a coconut macaroon cupcake. This delicious treat is made of a coconut cake topped with a layer of chocolate ganache, frosted with a coconut whipped buttercream, and then sprinkled with toasted coconut. They were so cute just decorated with coconut, but I thought they needed to be a little more festive, therefore for an added Easter decoration, I placed a Cadbury chocolate egg on the very top! They turned out just as I had envisioned. Wishing you and your family an "egg-cellent" Easter!

 Happy Easter!

{Sugar Bee} Cookies for my Favorite Peeps

A few years ago I created sugar cookies to look like Peeps and I just couldn't help myself and had to create them again because they are just so darn cute! I know there is a debate on whether Peeps are delicious or disgusting, but no matter how you feel about the candy, everybody will love this cookie version of the treat! They make a perfect gift to give to all your favorite Peeps!

{Sugar Bee} Cookies for a Hoppy Easter

Easter is only a few days a way and if you are like me, you haven't even started shopping for your kids baskets. But if you are also like me, you have checked Easter treats off your to-do list! This year I created a sweet little set that I themed around the Easter bunny and her eggs. The collection is comprised of a cute bunny, a filled Easter basket, a carrot, and a decorated egg. I am so happy with how they turned out and I think they are just "egg-celent"!

These little cuties will definitely make for a Hoppy Easter!

{Sugar Bee} Bunny Bait Chocolate Covered Oreos

Easter is right around the corner and kids will be anxiously awaiting the Easter Bunny to fill their baskets with fun goodies and surprises. This year I thought it would be fun to create some Bunny Bait chocolate covered Oreos! These are some sweet treats that will have that cottontail cutie hippity hopping and leaving you with bunny kisses and Easter wishes!

{Sugar Bee} Pretty in Pink and Purple Cupcakes

Cupcakes are always a little sweeter when they are pink and purple! And wouldn't you know, I received an order of cupcakes for a special little girl turning 2 years old and her favorite colors are of course pink and purple. So when it was time to create the cupcakes, I knew everything had to have her favorite colors, including the cupcake itself. These little beauties are vanilla cupcakes colored in pink and purple for a fun surprise when bitten into, and frosted with a pink vanilla buttercream. For added sparkle, I sprinkled the cupcakes with rose gold glitter dust and topped them with a purple chocolate number "2" brushed with a gold luster dust. These are cupcakes will surely dazzle and delight!

{Sugar Bee} Having a Ball with Soccer Cupcakes

In addition to soccer cookies for Beckam's soccer themed birthday party, his mama also ordered some cupcakes to go along with the theme! These were so much fun to create! I made red velvet cupcakes and decorated them with grass piped buttercream and topped them with mini white chocolate covered Oreo soccer balls. Each ball was hand colored to create the black and white soccer ball pattern. The end result was perfect! I hope the birthday boy and his friends have a ball eating these cupcakes!

Happy 6th Birthday Beckam!

{Sugar Bee} Cookies that will Bend it Like Beckam

A special little boy turned 6 this week and I had the pleasure of creating some sugar cookies for his soccer themed birthday party. This little soccer star not only loves the game, but he is so good at it too....which is appropriate since his name is BECKAM! So I created soccer ball and jersey cookies inspired by the birthday boy's soccer gear! To personalize the cookies even more, I added his name and his age to the jerseys. These cookies will be "kickin' it" at the party and I hope Beckam loves them as much as I loved making them!

Happy 6th Birthday Beckam!
