Bunny Cupcakes
Bunny Cupcakes are super adorable and they could not be easier to make. How great will these look on your Easter Dessert table this year?
Love! Love! Love! These Easter Bunny Cupcakes with marshmallow ears are super adorable and so easy to make. What a great dessert option for Easter dinner! But they would also be a fun cupcake for a baby shower, a toddler Birthday Party, or even a spring brunch.
Start with the Cupcakes
Start with a batch of cupcakes. We made cupcakes from a Yellow Cake Mix. You can find our Tips and Tricks for Doctoring a Cake Mix so it tastes better than homemade right here.
Now you Need the Frosting
Next, make up a batch of our Best Buttercream Frosting. Easy to make and it is definitely the most delicious buttercream frosting we have ever tasted. You find the recipe and detailed instructions on how to make it here.
How to Make the Marshmallow Bunny Ears
Step 1: To make the bunny ears you will need Jumbo Marshmallows. In a pinch, you could use a regular-sized marshmallow for the ears but the proportion of the ears won’t be correct and your Bunny Cupcake might look more like a mouse than a rabbit. You will also need some Sparkling Sugar or Sanding sugar in pink. You can easily make your own Sparkling Sugar … we have all the step by step directions you’ll need right here.
Step 2 & 3: Using the picture above as a guide, slice off two diagonal pieces of marshmallow from the flat end of the marshmallow. Lay the stick part of the marshmallow in the pink sparkling sugar.
Step 4: Lay the sticky part of the marshmallow in the pink sparkling sugar.
Step 5: Now you have your pink bunny ears!
Assembling the Bunny Cupcakes
Step 6: Gather up your cupcakes and your Buttercream frosting.
Step 7: Using a Wilton 2D frosting tip and a decorating bag, pipe on swirl on three full circles of buttercream frosting on top of the cupcake. You can find out how to make the perfect frosting swirl right here.
Step 8: Stick the pink marshmallow bunny ears into the top of the buttercream frosting swirl.
Step 9: Finally, add a bunny nose. We used a pink mini jelly bean but another good option for a bunny nose would be a pink sixlet.
We made both regular-sized Bunny Cupcakes and mini Bunny Cupcakes for our Easter party. We made the mini cupcakes exactly the same way but we used regular-sized marshmallows to make the bunny ears. Bunny Cupcakes … aren’t they adorable? And they are so easy to make!
