For the cupcake: 1 package of Trader Joe's Vanilla Bean Cake Mix
1 stick of butter
1 cup cold low fat milk
2 eggs
For the top:
2 cups shredded coconut
1 and 1/2 cups confectionery sugar
a little milk
chocolate eggs
Line muffin pan with cupcake liners.
Prepare batter and bake according to box.
Spread coconut on a baking sheet.
Put in the already heated oven for about 5 minutes or until starts to brown. Remove and let cool.
Mix a little milk into the confectionery sugar so that it's glaze-like in texture. When the cupcakes are cooled, cut a bit off the tops to create a flat surface. Put glaze onto the flat top and then sprinkle with the toasted coconut around the edges to form the shape of a nest.
Dip the bottoms of the chocolate eggs into the glaze and place in the middle.
Makes about a dozen.

These are great. My family and I make similar cupcakes for Easter. We use vanilla frosting, dye the coconut with green food color, throw a few jelly beans on top, and then bend a piece of licorice to make it look like a handle. Cupcake Easter baskets! :)
