For the cupcakes:
1 box angel food cake mix
1 1/4 cups cold water
1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, beat cake mix and water for 2 minutes on low-medium speed. Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter into each well of a muffin tin lined with baking cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 30 minutes.
For the frosting:
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lime juice
1 tsp. grated lime peel
12 oz. cool whip
1 cup baked flaked coconut
72 blue chocolate eggs
2. In a medium bowl, beat, or whisk together condensed milk, lime juice, lime peel and cool whip. Frost each cupcake around the edges in a large O shape, leaving a well in the center. Cover the frosting with the baked coconut to get the nest effect. Fill the centre with candy eggs. To create the hungry birds in this photo, place 3 medium sized blue chocolate eggs in the center of the cupcake. Using edible food coloring markers, dot on two eyes. With a yellow or orange tube of pre-colored decorator icing, pipe two pull up dots for a beak on each bird.
Makes approximately 24 cupcakes
