Fun Cupcake Ideas: Bunny Cupcakes

The other day I mentioned I was trying to make easy bunny cupcakes. I wanted them to be easy, but not lame. I figured it couldn’t be that hard, and it isn’t. They are almost as easy as my flower cupcake idea.

What you Need to Make Bunny Cupcakes

Pre-made cupcakes frosted with white frosting

Bunny gummy candies

Large white marshmallows

Small pastel colored marshmallows

Chocolate syrup, mini chocolate chips, or other tiny round candies /sprinkles for the bunny eyes

How to Make Bunny Cupcakes

Honestly, decorating with gummy bunnies is pretty self-explanatory. I put four onto the cupcake and then added an extra dot of white frosting in the middle.

For the bunny face cupcake, I cut large white marshmallows in half, then in half again so that it was cut in quarters. (You can cut marshmallows with a butter knife or plastic knife, don’t let the big steak knife fool you!)

Place two of the marshmallow quarters onto the cupcake, sticky side down. Place a small pink marshmallow onto the bottom of the bunny face for the nose. I then took a toothpick and dabbed a tiny bit of chocolate syrup on the end, and placed the dots for the bunny eyes. This was my improvisation because I didn’t have any sprinkles or chocolate mini morsels laying around (what kind of cook am I that doesn’t have mini morsels in her kitchen?!).

That’s it! Check out more kitchen ideas in my Creative Cooking category.
