Birds Nest Cupcakes

“In springtime
The only pretty ring time
Birds sing, hey ding
A-ding A-ding
Sweet lovers love the spring”

Willy Wonka sings this song in the invention room while riding the bike that stirs the ingredients. (He is quoting William Shakespeare). These edible bird nests kind of remind me of this song.

It somehow made it more personal and special. For such tiny cakes, they sure were a huge hit!
