Instructions
  1. First, frost the cupcakes with white icing. Bend a pipe cleaner or a piece of red licorice into an arch and push the ends into the sides of each cupcake.

  2. Shake the shredded coconut in a stainless steel bowl. Sprinkle on food coloring bit by bit, mixing vigorously to distribute the color

  3. Place a pinch of shredded coconut on each iced cupcake. Now place three jelly beans on the "nest" of coconut.

  4. Tie a small ribbon bow on the pipe cleaner or licorice handle at a jaunty angle.

  5. Put one cupcake basket by each place setting at Easter brunch or give them as gifts.
