Brach’s® Easter Duckling Cupcakes
 1 box lemon-flavored cake mix
Paper mini cupcake liners
1 tub ready-to-spread
lemon-flavored frosting
1 bag Brach’s® Spice Drops
White chocolate chips
Black decorators’ gel
1 bag Brach’s® Fruit Slices
1 bag Brach’s® Pastel Candy Corn
Prepare the cake mix according to package directions,
and put batter into a mini-muffin pan lined with mini
cupcake liners. Bake the mini cupcakes as directed on
the package; cool completely. Once cooled, remove the cupcakes from the paper liners
and turn them upside-down to frost, leaving only what
used to be the top unfrosted.
For each cupcake, cut a lemon (yellow) Brach’s® Spice
Drop in half and press white chocolate chips into the
bottom half of each cut side, squirting a small “pupil”
of black decorators’ gel on each piece. Top each cupcake
with these “eyes” pointing straight ahead.
Cut an orange Brach’s® Fruit Slice in half length-wise,
and then into small slices. Press two of the pieces into
the frosting to create a beak. Press other pieces into
the frosting to create feet and wings.
To complete the Easter duckling cupcake, insert three
yellow-tipped Brach’s® Pastel Candy Corn pieces (pointed
side down) into the back of the duckling to create a
tail.
