I have always loved making festive Easter desserts. I’m not sure if it’s because my mom growing up made a cute Easter bunny cake each year for our Easter gathering. So this year, I decided I wanted to make these pretty cross cupcakes for my family. I want it to be an Easter tradition. The children can help decorate these pretty cross cupcakes on Good Friday with me each year.

Also, I thought these cross cupcakes would be perfect for a baptism or first Holy Communion.

How to Make Cross Cupcakes

Cross Cupcake Ingredients

• 12 cupcakes, using your favorite recipe
• 1 cup green frosting, your favorite
• 20 pretzel sticks
• Heart sprinkles
• Flower Sprinkles
• ¼ cup milk chocolate chips, melted

Cross Cupcake Instructions

1. Break 8 pretzel sticks into three equal pieces. Place remaining solid pretzels on waxed paper.
2. Lightly dip one tip of each broken pretzel into the melted chocolate. Press tip against a solid pretzel and repeat on the opposite side of the solid pretzel to create a cross shape. Press a heart sprinkle against the middle of the cross. Allow setting to be complete.
3. On cupcakes, pipe green frosting to resemble grass.
4. Sprinkle flower sprinkles over the green icing and press lightly to attached.
5. Gently press a pretzel cross into the middle of each cupcake.

It really is that easy to decorate these sweet cross cupcakes that would be perfect for that family gathering or Potluck.
