Easy Bunny Cupcakes – Perfect for Easter
Yield: 12 bunny cupcakes
Ingredients:
12 cupcakes – Save time and use a mix. If you have some extra time be sure to use The Barefoot Contessa’s recipe for Coconut Cupcakes
Frosting. Save time and use vanilla canned frosting. If you have extra time be sure to use this George Town Cream Cheese Frosting recipe Yummy!
1 ½ cups shredded coconut
12 large marshmallows – colored if you can find them
24 mini marshmallows
Candies for eyes and nose as well as licorice or thin pretzels for whiskers.
Directions:
Frost each cupcake and then dip in a bowl of shredded coconut. Cut large marshmallows on the diagonal to make ears for the bunny. If you are feeling fancy, dip the cut part (it’s sticky) of the marshmallow in colored sugar or edible glitter to add some color to the inside of bunny’s ears. I usually attach the bunny ears to the cupcakes with toothpicks but if you are serving to young children you may want to use pretzel sticks or some other edible way of attaching them.
