Happy belated Easter everyone! And of course I had to make something Easter. But with every store adorning their aisles with bunnies, eggs, chicks and lambs, I was ready for a change of scenery. I mean really...Easter
isn't about bunnies and eggs and chicks.
So behold...
...Easter Cupcake. Complete with a moai statue. For those of you non-geography nerds, a moai statue is a monolithic figures carved out of rocks, made by the Rapa Nui people on Easter Island in the Pacific. The island was so named when the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen discovered it on...you guessed it, Easter Sunday. The island is famous for the aforementioned moai statues dotting all over it. So, just like putting a Christmas tree on a cupcake instantly turns it into a Christmas cupcake, perching a moai statue on a cupcake turns it into Easter cupcake.
But for the heck of it, I made the other version as well.
Bird's nest Easter cupcakes. Chocolate candy eggs, toasted coconut nest, on chocolate cupcake.
Granted, these are way cuter than the moai statue--those statues were erected to honor the inhabitant's ancestors and by no means designed with aesthetics in mind to make the island look cute.
Anyway, happy Easter!
