Yay for Easter bunny cupcakes...so adorable. I think Easter is bringing out the cutest cupcakes of the year! These are by Heavenly Bites Cakes via Flickr.

Strawberry mania and color-coordinated Peeps cupcakes at Wink Cupcakes, Seattle

These strawberry cupcakes and Peeps cupcakes are by Seattle's Wink Cupcakes, via their Facebook page. They did not have either of these when I visited their bakery, but they did have adorable ice cream cone cupcakes, which is something I rarely see. My phone battery died just as I was eating their ice cream cupcake, so I couldn't properly capture my surprise, or the frosting on my nose, when I found out there was frosting under the cake. I'm using a photo from their site to illustrate the inside - it was quite something.

The strawberry cupcakes are available by special order until they're fully in season, according to their blog.



I love how the Peep and frosting colors match!



The ones below were for a media appearance - how cute is the chick hatching?

Chocolate ganache macaroon flourless cupcakes, chocolate peanut butter & more at Tee & Cakes

Boulder, Colorado bakery Tee & Cakes posted on their website on March 26th:

Perfectly tasty seasonal cupcakes. For the next week, we’ll have these cupcakes available at the shop. They go fast, so come by at 11am or feel free to pre-order. 720-406-7548.

They look delicious! It doesn't say for sure but I'm assuming the flourless chocolate cake is kosher for Passover (note that some bakeries are selling Passover cupcakes but they are not technically kosher for Passover, so ask if this is a concern). See www.teeandcakes.com for store information.
