I'm not about to spend hours decorating a gorgeous cake that looks like the Easter Bunny Himself or anything. But these sweet little gluten free Easter Chick Cupcakes are easy enough that we can all make them.

About Nicole Hunn

Hi, I’m Nicole. I create gluten free recipes that really work and taste as good as you remember. No more making separate meals when someone is GF, or buying packaged foods that aren’t good enough to justify the price. At Gluten Free on a Shoestring, “good, for gluten free” just isn’t good enough!

    sharing this one on the Orgran Facebook page, and Candy Tree – you can use Candy Tree Gluten Free Licorice Laces as decorations on the cup cakes.

    These are very c-ute!! My son looked over my shoulder at the screen, and said.. “Mmm, Are you going to make those Mum?!?!” I might just have too ;)

      Looks like he’s got you painted into a corner, Rachelle!

    I’ve probably said this before but you are AMAZING!!! I was just looking thru recipes last night trying to find SOMETHING cute and gluten free for my daughter’s Easter Party at school. THIS IS IT!! They are too cute and she can eat every part of it. Thank you. Thank you. You brightened my day.

    1. Nicole Hunn says:

      That’s awesome, RW! She’ll be the hit of the party. :)

    If anyone wants eggs in their nest, they could use the M&M speckled eggs. Those things are so cute and tasty!

    One of the chicks up there looks very sad and worried. I think he knows his destiny.

    1. Jennifer S. says:

      I can’t remember where I read this but regular M&Ms are reliably gluten free but the holiday ones are not due to cross contamination issues I think – but it is a super great idea! :)

      1. Donia Robinson says:

        Oh, good to know!! I guess we’ll just have to stick to jellybeans. ;)

        I just pulled the bag of “Speck-tacular eggs” M&M’s from my pantry and it says on the allergy information “may contain peanuts and wheat”

      3. Nicole Hunn says:

        Thanks for posting that info, dot. I know that most of those fancy M&Ms aren’t safe. Better off making these little chicks. They really are easy!

    Super cute! :) We are off to vegas for easter this year, so nothing fancy for us but I’ll pin this for future reference!! :)

    1. Nicole Hunn says:

      Lucky you, Jennifer! That sounds like tons of fun. :)

    2. Donia Robinson says:
