First we take a flat cookie like a graham cracker and cut it down to an egg shape. Next we attach it to our cupcakes using frosting. To make the blue eggs we frosted the top of the graham cracker with blue frosting and pressed candy directly into the frosting. Finally we rolled the entire cupcake in blue sugar to coat. For the pink eggs we coated the graham cracker in pink frosting first, then rolled them in pink sugar. We finished them with bands and dots of frosting piped from a zip lock bag. This subtle difference in technique gives the blue eggs a softer look while the pink eggs are brighter and more graphic.

I thought of an easier way to get the egg shape on top. Draw egg shapes on wax paper and pour melted chocolate on the wax paper and spread the chocolate out until it fits the egg shape outline. I haven't tried it but I plan to before Sunday.
