Easy to make and delicious, these beautiful Easter Bonnets will give your Sunday celebration a stylish flare.
Prep time: 15 min.
Baking time: 12 min.
Decoration time: 40 min.
Difficulty: Challenging
What you'll need:
  • 1 bag each of M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter, STARBURST® Brand Jellybeans, SKITTLES® Brand Bite Size Candies for Easter, STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter
  • 10 medium cupcakes (2-1/2-inch), store bought or homemade
  • 1 package refrigerated sugar dough, or ten 4-1/2-inch cookies
  • 2 16-oz. containers prepared white frosting
  • Food coloring
What to do:
  1. Roll the sugar dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Press out ten 4-1/2-inch cookies. Bake the cookies according to directions on the package. Set aside.
  2. Remove the paper cupcake liners from the cupcakes. Trim the rounded top of each cupcake to square it off.
  3. Ice the top of each cupcake with 1 tablespoon of frosting. Turn the cupcakes upside down and place them on the cookies. Set the "cookie hats" on a wire rack.
  4. Divide the icing into 4 bowls. Beginning with a few drops of food coloring, tint the icing in each bowl to a desired pastel shade. One at a time, place the bowls into the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir the icings to achieve a consistency that's easy to pour but not too runny—like a milkshake.
  5. Spoon icing over the hats, completely covering them. Set aside for 10 minutes to let icing firm up. If necessary, spoon icing over the hats again to coat them completely.
  6. Decorate each hat using M&M'S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies for Easter, STARBURST® Brand Jellybeans, and SKITTLES® Brand Bite Size Candies for Easter.
  7. To make hat ribbons, unwrap STARBURST® Brand FUN SIZE® Fruit Chews for Easter. Soften them in the microwave for 5 seconds. Then thinly roll them, cut them into thin ribbons, and wrap them around the hats.
Makes 10 bonnets.
