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.
