Nests of Milk Chocolate

I needed a an Easter cupcake for a client. She wanted something for her grandchildren, but also wanted to keep them from looking like "mega mart" cupcakes. We found this idea on the web.

I took it a step further and filled the milk chocolate cupcake with a smooth milk chocolate filling, topping it with a white chocolate cream cheese icing. I shaved the "twigs" off of a large brick of milk chocolate. The birds eggs were Cadberry Mini Eggs--they have wonderful pastel colors and a matte finish.

We were very happy with the outcome!
