Description

Delicious bunny-themed vanilla cupcakes topped with fluffy frosting and marshmallow ears.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 vanilla cupcakes
  • 2 cups vanilla buttercream frosting
  • 10 large marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup pink sanding sugar
  • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tube pink gel icing

Instructions

  1. Bake 12 vanilla cupcakes according to your recipe and let them cool completely before decorating.
  2. Prepare 2 cups of vanilla buttercream frosting and beat until smooth and fluffy for easy spreading.
  3. Pipe or spread a dome of frosting onto each cupcake making sure the surface is smooth.
  4. Roll or sprinkle each frosted cupcake with white granulated sugar pressing lightly so it sticks evenly.
  5. Cut marshmallows diagonally to form ears and dip the sticky sides into pink sanding sugar.
  6. Insert toothpicks into marshmallow ears and gently place them into the top of each cupcake.
  7. Use pink gel icing to pipe closed eyes and a small nose on each cupcake for the bunny face.

Notes

  • Ensure that cupcakes are completely cooled before decorating to prevent melting the frosting.
  • Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container.
