What a fun April Fools joke or a great Easter surprise dessert! From What's New Cupcake......Cracked Eggs!
Materials Needed
12 baked mini cupcakes, flavor your choice
Ready made white frosting
Home made or store bought lemon curd
White melting chocolate, almond bark or Wilton candy melts
plastic Easter eggs
paint brush
empty egg crate
To make chocolate eggs, melt over double boiler. Lightly oil shells. Here is a tip, use only the top half of egg that is oval on top and elongated, the bottom breaks too easily when removed!
When set, remove. Some broken pieces are exactly what you need so don't feel bad if you break a couple.
Frost cupcakes and place a dollop of lemon curd on each. Place Egg pieces and broken chunks on top. Surprise!

Oh my goodness, these are so clever and cute! Now I know what to do when I have leftover lemon curd from my lemon drop cupcakes.
I love everything about these! So clever! I am absolutely sure I would shatter the chocolate into oblivion, though. You did a lovely job.
