Bunny Cupcakes

My granddaughter loves to bake but, even if your kids (or grandkids) don’t bake they can help you decorate these bunny cupcakes.

See this post if you need tips for decorating cupcakes with frosting. You can see how I added peeps to the top of some of them, another easy Easter cupcake ideas.

How to decorate cupcakes to look like a bunny

First, make a vanilla cupcake recipe use a vanilla cake box mix, or even buy your favorite cupcakes to decorate to make easy bunny cupcakes. Make sure your cupcakes are cooled all the way.

Set aside 12 of your favorite vanilla cupcakes to make the Easter bunny cupcakes.

Baking Supplies you will need

½ cup softened butter
2 cups icing sugar
3-4 tbsp milk
8-9 oz. white fondant
12 candy googly eyes
4-6 oz. pink fondant
1-2 oz. black fondant

Yields: One dozen cupcakes

How to make bunny cupcakes

Step 1

Begin by checking on your cupcakes: they have to be completely cool before you begin the decorating process.

Step 2

Using an electric mixer, make your buttercream by beating together butter, sugar, and milk on medium speed.

Step 3

Gradually increase speed to high.

Step 4

Once the buttercream is formed, scoop it into a piping bag and frost the center of each cupcake (use a round icing tip).

Step 5

Separate your white fondant into 24 spheres, about one inch in size each.

Step 6

Flatten out the white fondant spheres and then point one end. They will act as your bunnies’ ears.

Step 7

Roll out a portion of your pink fondant into 24 small spheres, about 1/3 of an inch in size.

Step 8

Flatten the pink spheres, slightly smaller than your white fondant pieces. Point one end and press one onto each white fondant piece.

Step 9

Insert a toothpick into each fondant bunny ear.

Step 10

With the remainder of your pink fondant, roll out 12 small spheres, about ¼ of an inch thick. Place one on the middle of the frosting of each cupcake to make the nose. Above it, place 2 of your googly candy eyes to each side of the nose.

Step 11

Roll out small, thin strips of your black fondant – you’ll need 48 of them.

Step 12

Place the black strips on your bunnies’ faces – 2 on either side of its nose.

Step 13

Gently insert 2 fondant bunny ears on the top of each cupcake.

Step 14

Now your bunny face is done!

Store your bunny cupcakes in a cool place until you are ready to serve them. Serve, enjoy and Happy Easter!
