Learn how to make these awesome Easter cupcakes that look like a carrot growing in the ground!! The neatest part about these is when you tear the cupcake open, the frosting stays in the shape of a real carrot, complete with chocolate cake sticking to it like dirt does to a carrot just pulled from the ground.
Thank you to imstillworkin for bringing this idea to my attention (hers was in cake form). I wanted to do a cupcake version and found these and instructions for making them on Wilton's website. They call them 'Bunny's Carrot Garden Easter Cupcakes' and can be found here: wilton.com/idea/Bunnys-Carrot-Garden-Easter-Cupcakes?cmp=pint2013&icid=0305bunnyscarrotgarden#

What you'll need:
chocolate cupcakes (either from scratch or a box mix), cooled and chilled*
chocolate butter cream frosting*
orange colored vanilla butter cream frosting*
green colored vanilla butter cream frosting*
chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreo's), crushed into fine crumbs
Wilton decorating tips #12 and #366
*There are recipes on Wilton's website for all the buttercreams used here as well as the cupcakes themselves if you want to make them from scratch.
