Easter Egg Cupcakes

So in this post I am actually combing two pins to share. I love mandarin cake, so decided to try this cake recipe and make cupcakes with it.
The original recipe can be found here.

Mandarin Magic Cake

Yield: 24 servings.
1 (18 oz.) yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges and juice
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple
1 small box instant vanilla pudding mix
9 oz. Cool Whip
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together cake mix, eggs, oil, and mandarin oranges and juice; pour into a 9 by 13 inch greased and floured pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until done. Mix the whole can of pineapple along with the juices with pudding powder and Cool Whip. Spread over the cooled cake. Keep this cake refrigerated.

Now I skipped the frosting, because we are making these for an easter egg hunt and they must be kept refrigerated, but I have tried this frosting and it is delicious!!

 Ingredients for the cupcakes

 Ingredients for the frosting, I think mixed green food coloring to the coconut then we stuck it onto the frosted cupcakes, then added M&M eggs. It was fun to do with the kids!

They were perfect to take to the Karate school easter egg hunt potluck!

This is the link for the idea for the cupcakes.
