<p>This is a very busy season for me, so I have to think of quick treats. For Easter, I&#8217;ll be making some cotton candy cupcakes. No recipe needed, just put some cotton candy inside cupcake wrappers, add some M&amp;M&#8217;s and Peeps and you&#8217;ve got a quick and cute alternative to cupcakes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Easter-Peeps2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7666" title="Easter-Peeps2" src="http://www.livinglocurto.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Easter-Peeps2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a></p>
<p>Be sure to serve them within several hours after making them, otherwise the cotton candy will shrivel up&#8230;. especially with Peeps on top of them. I wrapped them up, but the Peeps still melted the cotton candy by the end of the day. If you plan to make ahead of time, just add cotton candy and wrap up tight.</p>

<p>Then it was time to eat and sing happy birthday. What nice day to eat cupcakes outside!</p>

<p>Next we made fairy wands. (This activity is also included in my <a href="http://www.livinglocurto.com/2010/03/fairy-birthday-party-printables/" target="_blank">Fairy Party Pack</a>.) It was a nice no mess activity and a big hit with the girls.</p>

<p>Lauren&#8217;s mommy made all the tutus herself. She cut tulle into strips, tied them to a ribbon and added a hair bow for some bling. A perfect party favor!</p>
