Recipe FAQS

Frequently asked questions about Cadbury Eggs.

What's inside a Cadbury egg?

A chocolate "egg" surrounds a gooey white and yellow creme filling center that looks like the inside of an egg.

Can you buy Cadbury eggs all year?

No, you can not buy Cadbury eggs all year. Cadbury Creme Eggs are a seasonal treat only available for a few months around Easter.

Can you freeze Cadbury Eggs?

If you love Cadbury Eggs and want to enjoy them after the Easter holiday you can freeze them. Remove the Cadbury Eggs from the carboard box if they came in one. Leave the wrapper on them and place the eggs in an airtight freezer container. Place the container in the freezer and enjoy a Creme Egg anytime you like.

Expert Recipe Tips

Expert recipe tips that will help you make the best Easter Cadbury cupcakes.

  • I made homemade chocolate cupcakes but you can use a box of your favorite chocolate cake mix.
  • If you are using a boxed cake mix instead of making homemade chocolate cupcakes at least make the butter cream frosting. Homemade frosting tastes so much better than store bought.
  • I also made homemade Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting but you can use store bought canned chocolate frosting. A few words about homemade Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting. MAKE IT! Homemade chocolate buttercream frosting is awesome.
  • Homemade Frosting substitution ideas: You could use canned green frosting and skip the sprinkles altogether. You can use store bought canned chocolate frosting if you are short on time.

    I am in love with these Arlene. I adore the nest you created below each cupcake. I have not see any Cadbury creme eggs here. We don't get there here at all. My kids would adore these.

      Julia thank you so much! Do they even sell them over there where you live? Cadbury Eggs are all the rage here in the US during Easter.
