First, frost the cupcakes with white icing.
Use either red licorice or a sour straw to make the basket handle. I cut the licorice in half lengthwise to make it look better.
Shake the shredded coconut in a stainless steel bowl.
Sprinkle on food coloring bit by bit, mixing vigorously to distribute the color.
Shake coconut over each cupcake and press in to stick. Make a bed of it.
Now place three or four jelly beans on the "nest" of coconut.
You can also add some nerds to make it look cuter.
You can tie a small ribbon bow on the licorice handle.
