Equipment
- Silicone Easter Egg Mold
- snack size baggie
Ingredients
- 6 Prepared Cupcakes
- 1 Cup Wilton’s White Chocolate Melting Discs
- ½ Cup Wilton’s Melting Discs Pink
- ½ Cup Wilton’s Melting Discs Purple
- ½ Cup Wilton’s Melting Discs Green
- ½ Cup Wilton’s Melting Discs Blue
- ½ Cup Wilton’s Melting Discs Yellow
- ½ Cup Wilton’s Melting Discs Orange
- White Frosting
- Jelly Beans
- Green Sugar
- Food Coloring Green
Instructions
- Melt each color of chocolate (except the white) in small bowls according to package directions.
- Place each color of chocolate in a snack-size baggie and snip the corner off just a tiny bit.
- Pipe any colors on the dots and zig-zag parts of the mold. Let dry completely.
- In a medium bowl, melt the white chocolate melting discs according to package directions.
- Pour 2-3 tablespoons of chocolate into the mold and spread with a spoon to cover the egg. You do not want a solid egg, so spread it somewhat thin but not too thin.
- Let it dry completely, then carefully pop it out of the mold.
- Color the frosting with 3-4 drops of the green food coloring.
- Frost each cupcake with a knife or piping bag.
- Sprinkle the frosting with green sugar.
- Take one egg and carefully cut it in half. The easy way is to lay it decorative side down and place the sharp end of knife directly in the middle of egg and push down. The egg should just break in half on its own. Leave some whole if you choose.
- Place the two halves on the cupcake and fill the middle with jelly beans. If you left a few whole, then stand those on top of each cupcake.

What a extremely fun and different cupcake for Easter. Love all the bright colors you used.
These look so good! We’re huge fans of cupcakes in this house. I might have to make these with my kids.
oh my gosh what a great and creative way to make these adorable cracked easter egg cupcakes- my kids would go crazy over them! YUM!
That looks like a fun idea. I’m thinking that this might happen for Easter this year just because I want to do something different for a Easter desert.
LOVEEEEEE! I wonder what is going to happen when my son gets older and I need to be the mom to bring in the cupcakes for the Easter School Party. Am I going to buy store made ones or make them myself?! ha! WE SHALL SEE! LOL!
Those cracked eggs are cute Easter desserts. I made a similar idea with rice krispie treats. M&Ms fell out and the kids thought it was awesome.
What a great Easter themed cupcake idea. I love that they are so colourful and easy to make. I may even have the right size moulds in my cupboard to make the eggs!!!
OK now these looks like some fun cupcakes, they are just perfect for Easter as well, great for when you have people coming around.
Oh, wow. These are so cute. They would be perfect for an Easter party at church.
What adorable Easter cupcakes! A perfect treat all spring long. They look as fun to make as they are to eat!
This is such a fun idea! I love that there is a surprise inside the egg.
This definitely looks like Easter creativity at its finest! They would be fun and delicious at an Easter party too.
This looks like a lot of fun to make. Looking forward to making this for my family.
Oh I absolutely loooove these! They are so darn adorable. I would have never thought of putting cracked Easter eggs on top but it’s so brilliant!
I am not into baking but I always adore these creative ideas. I am sure that every child would enjoy this treat.
What a simple yet super cute idea! I’m not one who can resist cupcakes, so these are calling my name!
This is so cute! I like this easter egg cupcake idea. We do not have easter egg hunting so I think I will do this instead.
Well these cookies are just adorable!! I want to make these with my nieces and nephews!!
