Cute and Easy Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Each year for Easter, my son Josh and I think up fun food craft projects to do with our family. This year we made these adorable Easter Bunny Cupcakes to test out the recipe and let me tell you—success! You can see in the photos how cute the finished cupcakes came out. Adorned with bunny ears and a jellybean nose, these fluffy white Easter bunny cupcakes are simply adorable. But the best part about this recipe is how easy it is. You can also see that the finished cupcakes are not perfect—maybe even a little messy on the bunny ears—but that's the way a baking adventure should turn out.

These Easter bunny cupcakes are homemade, not from a bakery where they're too flawless to touch. Plus, you can get little hands involved in the fun and is there a better way to prepare for (or spend) a holiday than by baking something sweet and cute with family?

Best Easter Bunny Cupcakes Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 box white or yellow cake mix, plus ingredients on box

  • 2 tubs white frosting

  • 18 or more large marshmallows

  • 18 mini jellybeans

  • red sanding sugar

  1. Bake cupcakes according to directions on cake mix box.

  2. Let cool completely before frosting and decorating.

  3. When cupcakes are completely cooled, frost with either a star tip in a piping bag or use a butter knife.

  4. If you use a butter knife, after frosting each cupcake, take the tip of the butter knife and tap lightly all over the frosting to make little points. Or, frost and leave smooth.

  5. Cut marshmallows diagonally to create ears. I used a pair of kitchen scissors I bought in the dollar store. You can also use a serrated knife. You may need to spray lightly with cooking spray so marshmallows don't stick too much.

  6. Dip the ears in the pink sparking sugar. The marshmallows should be sticky enough to hold the sugar. If you need a little help, lightly dab with a little cold water then dip into sugar.

  7. Once cupcakes are frosted, add on the dipped ears and jellybeans for the nose on each bunny cupcake.
