For Easter, which for the first time we agreed to do at a park--another transportation potential debacle--I made this blueberry white cake with blueberry cream filling, and the good buttercream, dyed blue. The peeps were an easy and colorful addition, though it was hard to find the yellow chicks at the last minute. (Needed chicks, not bunnies for the cake..though bunnies worked best on the cupcakes.)
The bow was the second time I tried this, and it worked quite well, despite again that we were jiggling this case in transit a lot. To make the chocolate bows, you melt and dye your candy chocolates -- white chocolates in this case--and then paint the melted candy onto wax paper strips, and then while still not cool, bend them with the tips together but leaving the bow "hole" and putting them on their side to dry. I made extras, knowing quite well I would break one or more, especially in transit. I can't remember if I did. What I do remember is that the kids ate most of the cupcakes but that due to all of the other goodies at our Easter pot luck, sadly there was a lot of cake left that after "keeping" it for awhile, had to be discarded...
