Directions:Place any Muffin Tray on Perforated Baking Sheet. Bake cupcakes according to package, let cool. Frost cupcakes with 1 cup frosting, set aside. Tint 2 Tablespoons frosting with yellow food coloring. Tint remaining frosting light blue and place in pastry bag with small round tip. Pipe three bluebird heads, 3/4 inch in diameter, onto each cupcake. Using knife, create yellow beaks on birds. With a toothpick, add melted-chocolate eyes. Form each nest by spreading 2 tablespoons toasted coconut around birds.
