To make 12 Easter Chick Cupcakes, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cupcakes:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk


For the frosting:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
- Yellow food coloring
- Orange food coloring
- Black decorating gel
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Add in a few drops of yellow food coloring to tint the frosting a pale yellow color.
Using a piping bag fitted with a large round tip, pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes in a circular motion to create a nest-like shape. Use a small spoon or spatula to create a small indentation in the center of the frosting.
To make the chick decorations, mix a few drops of yellow food coloring into a small amount of frosting. Use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip to pipe a small circle of yellow frosting onto the center of each cupcake. Use a toothpick to create small indentations in the frosting to resemble feathers.
Mix a few drops of orange food coloring into a small amount of frosting. Use a piping bag fitted with a small round tip to pipe a small triangle of orange frosting onto the yellow circle to create a beak. Use black decorating gel to pipe two small dots for eyes.
