		<description><![CDATA[How to make very easy bunny cupcakes, a super-cute and fun cupcake idea!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;t be that hard, and it isn&#8217;t. They are almost as <a title="Fun Flower Cupcake Idea" href="http://www.craftjr.com/easter-desserts-easiest-flower-cupcakes-ever/">easy as my flower cupcake idea</a>.</p>

<h3>What you Need to Make Bunny Cupcakes</h3>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Pre-made cupcakes frosted with white frosting</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Bunny gummy candies</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Large white marshmallows</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Small pastel colored marshmallows</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Chocolate syrup, mini chocolate chips, or other tiny round candies /sprinkles for the bunny eyes</p>
<h3>How to Make Bunny Cupcakes</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<div id="attachment_124" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-124" title="Make Bunny Cupcakes" src="http://www.craftjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/make-bunny-cupcakes.jpg" alt="make bunny cupcakes Fun Cupcake Ideas: Bunny Cupcakes" width="300" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Make Bunny Cupcakes</p></div>
<p>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&#8217;t let the big steak knife fool you!)</p>
<p>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&#8217;t have any sprinkles or chocolate mini morsels laying around (what kind of cook am I that doesn&#8217;t have mini morsels in her kitchen?!).</p>

<h2>More Sugar Cookie Decorating Ideas</h2>
<p>The best part about sugar cookie recipes is that they are so versatile. Most of these recipes are quite similar, it&#8217;s just the decoration and cutting that sets them apart. Here&#8217;s some great examples from Country Living, which gives 2 different slide shows of Christmas cookies all based on <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/recipefinder/sugar-cookie-dough-clv1207">one sugar cookie recipe</a>:</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Easiest flower cupcakes on the planet - they look fantastic and are great for kids to make for Easter desserts.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m what you would call a lazy cook. If it comes in a box, it&#8217;s likely I&#8217;ve made it. But then a few times a year, I get this unnatural domestic urge to cook something from scratch and spend all day in the kitchen.</p>
<p>But today was not one of those days. *grin*</p>
<p>Today I was in a rush and I was trying to figure out a way to make easy bunny cupcakes. I did, and they are quite cute&#8230; but then I looked at the almost-full bag of colored marshmallows and the last few undecorated cupcakes and I was inspired.</p>
<p>So viola &#8211; the easiest flower cupcakes on the planet:</p>
<div id="attachment_70" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-70" title="Easter Dessert Flower Cupcakes" src="http://www.craftjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/easter-flower-cupcakes.jpg" alt="easter flower cupcakes Easter Desserts: Easiest Flower Cupcakes Ever" width="500" height="375" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Easter Dessert Flower Cupcakes</p></div>
<h3>How to Make the Easiest Flower Cupcakes Ever</h3>
<p>Quite honestly, these are so easy they are almost self-explanatory.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Bake cupcakes from a mix.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Frost them with store bought frosting.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Pop colored marshmallows on top.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Done.</p>
<p>For the flower leaves and the pointed yellow petals, all I did was cut the cupcakes in half diagonally like this:</p>
<div id="attachment_71" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-full wp-image-71" title="Cut marshmallows" src="http://www.craftjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/cut-marshmallows.jpg" alt="cut marshmallows Easter Desserts: Easiest Flower Cupcakes Ever" width="300" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Cut marshmallows</p></div>
<p>Even a little kid could cut the marshmallows, because you could use a plastic knife to do it.</p>
<p>By the way &#8211; my kids devoured them so fast I didn&#8217;t get to try one. So if you make these Easter cupcakes, please let me know how they are!</p>
