One of my sweet childhood memories occured about this time each year. Each spring, my momma would make her jellybean cupcakes. She would ice the cakes and then cover them with coconut she had dyed green and then put jellybean eggs on top. She would then come to my classroom at Sunset Elementary and bring cupcakes for everyone in my class. I was always so proud of my mother and thought her cupcakes were the most wonderful thing ever. The older I become the more joy I receive from these happy times and happy memories. Thank you, sweet friends, for coming by and letting me share my memories with you. I hope each of you are experiencing the promises that spring and Easter bring.

Mmm, those cupcakes not only look delicious, but they're almost too pretty to eat. Wasn't your mom a sweetie! That picture of the tots is so cute.

I love these cupcakes. They are absolutely beautiful. The green dye on the coconut with the little jelly bean eggs. Love the chicks too. I love them. I can smell the coconut and would just love to reach in and take one. Heck, I believe I will. Thank you for sharing. Oh yummy is all I can say. So yummy.
Thank you for the memories sweetie. Have a great week. Country hugs...Sherry
I love them! I bought cupcake decorations today. I am planning on making some "over the top" cupcakes this week. Your mom sounds like a gem!
Yummy, sweet cupcake memories! What a wonderful thing for your mom to do. Wishing you a week of Easter blessings, Tammy
Dear Vicki, these cupcakes looks so delicious! Such happy childhood memories for you to treasure :o)
Big hugs
Hi Vicki! Oh my gosh, these cupcakes are ADORABLE!!.. They look to good to eat, but they DO look delicious too! Love that this is a happy memory for you too, as I hope my own kids remember such things someday! ~tina
What a sweet memory :) Those cupcakes look so yummy. I don't really make cupcakes, as my kides were not too much into them, and now that they are older, they don't really eat much cake & such. Hubby doesn't at all. He's more an ice cream eater.
Thanks so much for sharing this with us, and hope your week is fabulous! Warmest always, Brenda
Yuuuuummmy, chickee! That caught my attention for sure!

Oh Vicki, once again our childhood memories are so alike... my mama always made little coconut cupcakes too! I waited all year for these precious little treats, and helping her make them was so much fun... you are right, the older we get the sweeter our memories from our childhood become... now I think I want to make some today, for Jack and I... and pretend I am ten years old once again... I'm sure you were so very proud when your mama brought the cupcakes to your class, and I'm sure all of your friends loved them! Have a beautiful Spring day! xoxo Julie Marie
How very cute! We have an aunt who would make a bunny cake every Easter. Thanks for the sweet memories.

You brought back wonderful memories. There was always someone in the family, my mom, my mother-in-law, my husband's aunt would make these cupcakes. When I was growing up, we got to put the jelly beans on them. My husband always wanted the black jelly beans if he was helping when we made them here at home, I love the picture that was in your post. Thank you for sharing.
Frosting and coconut! Oh, Vicki, you brought a great memory to light....I have a picture of me standing in a corner of the dining room holding a bunny cake that my grandma made for me. I am going to have to find the picture and share it with you!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!! debbie
Good morning dear Vicki,
Thanking for sharing your sweet memories with us...It's wonderful how something like a sweet, little cupcake can bring back so many wonderful memories. You'll be amazed at how many types of food trigger those sweet and special memories for me :-) Thank you again my dear friend for sharing. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week and a blessed Easter. By the way, love your Easter header.
Tons of love,
♥Ana
Vicki I loved reading your sweet Easter memory. I imagine that all the children in your class loved your mom as well for taking the time to make them all feel special with her pretty cupcakes. What a dear memory to have and keep of your mother. I am sure you are making many memories with your darling grandchildren. Many of which will be expressed in years to come. Maybe even on blogs of their own.
hugs
Thank you for such a lovey message you left for me today.
Vicki, what a sweet childhood memory...your mom's cupcakes sound delicious...i remember how excited my boys would be when they were in grade school and i would bring cupcakes to school for their birthday...thanks for reminding me of those sweet memories of mine:)
I teach first grade, and let me tell you, there's nothing that makes kids happier than having Mom bring in treats to share with friends! So happy that you have those precious childhood memories!
Blessings!
love all your wonderful vintage Easter decoration, you have a wonderful collection, so much fun, I am a new follower...
Ms Vicki, have a blessed Easter day. I'm sure you will be celebrating the fact that He is risen! Blessings, today and always, Marta.
