Easter Cupcakes! Who Needs Chocolate Eggs?
Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank is serving up Easter specialties this week - Carrot Cream Cheese, Easter Bunny, Easter Basket, and the somewhat unusual Egg Hunt. This LAist favorite bakes up an irresistible "Old School" cupcake, a riff on Hostess Cupcakes. The "Old School" will be featuring a pastel palette of curliques this week. (Open 10am to 3pm Easter Sunday)
Sprinkles is featuring their HOP box, containing Sprinkles' Spring collection, including dark chocolate, brown sugar praline, carrot and vanilla cupcakes decorated with pink and green bunnies. No notice as to Easter hours, but the last day the box will be available will be Sunday the 23rd.
Over at Crumbs in Beverly Hills, just like their St Patrick's special, Easter gets its cupcakes too, some with easter bunnies and eggs on top.

Frosted Cupcakery in Long Beach doesn't specify Easter flavors, but that Toasted Coconut Vanilla Buttercream would do nicely.
Here is a cupcake map to help make the search a little easier.
For DIY-ers, there are some interesting decorating ideas at the Cupcakes that Take the Cake blog.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
