Easter Egg Nest Cupcakes:

This Easter I decided to try and make some Easter egg nests with vanilla cupcakes to sit on.

First, I put together the vanilla cupcakes, which you can find the recipe on Tanya Burr's Youtube page (Just Search "Tanya Burr Chocolate Easter Nests" on YouTube). These were easy enough to make and I will say turned out quite well! It was an easy recipe too, not requiring many step, you basically just throw all the ingredients in the bowl and mix.

Than I decide to take on the task of making the Easter egg nests, even though there are only two ingredients, chocolate and shredded wheat, this was the most difficult part of the while process. I found the recipe, basically what proportions of each to use, on Zoë's blog (www.zoella.co.uk). This task was most difficult, because you had to warm the chocolate up slowly without burning it. It took me a couple of attempts to not burn the chocolate and not boil the water to hard, but just to let it simmer. Also white chocolate does not melt as well as dark or milk chocolate, as I learned in this process, so getting that to melt was also a tough time. Finally, I was able to melt the chocolate perfectly and mix with the shredded wheat. And even though it wasn't the easiest thing I've ever baked the outcome looked pretty good and tasted the same! As you can see I added to cute pastel, chocolate Easter eggs to complete the look. 

Lastly, I want to give a huge thank you to @TanyaBurr and @Zoella for the awesome recipe's that they shared! 

Thanks for reading!
