Do you love the classic malt flavor? You know, the Whoppers candy you used to get in your Halloween Trick or Treat bag that often would be forgotten or not eaten. Easter now has their own version conveniently called Malt Eggs. So when in Rome……I added malt eggs to the icing and used some for decoration on this cute malted milkball cupcake recipe.
The signs of Easter mean that springtime is here (or at least just around the corner) and life of the farm is once again hectic. Soon, the spring planting will start, our farm market will be open and the wonderful smell of spring will be in air.

How To Decorate Easter Egg Malt Cupcakes
Using a ziplock bag, crush up half of the Whopper Easter eggs. Set aside
Using a stand mixer, combine the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy whipping cream and mix on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Whip about 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Scoop half of the vanilla frosting into a piping bag. Beat in the crushed Whopper eggs into the remaining icing. Scoop into the second piping bag.
Using the plain vanilla piping bag, pipe a ring of frosting around the top of the cupcake. Using the whopper frosting piping bag, pipe a dollop of frosting on top of the vanilla frosting
Finish off by placing a few Easter Whopper Eggs (also called Robin’s Eggs) on top and place the bunny icing transfer next to the eggs.
