As a momma to six kiddos, I am sharing my tips, recipes and anecdotes related to bringing out every kid’s culinary potential. Click HERE to see all the posts in this series!
Who is ready for an adorable Easter treat to make with your kiddos? I am here to help you get ready for Easter with these super simple (and super adorable) Easter Bunny Cupcakes.
My little three had so much fun making these cupcakes, especially the bunny ears. However, my five year old was the only one who let me photograph her while working. I think the other five kids might start charging me to model for blog posts if I’m not careful!
Are you ready to get your kiddos in the kitchen and make some together? They couldn’t be more simple! First, bake up a batch of cupcakes and allow them to cool.
While they are cooling, make your bunny ears by cutting large marshmallows in half diagonally and dipping the cut side into some pink sugar sprinkles.
To frost the cupcakes, you have a few options depending on how much time you have. I used white frosting and piped it on using a grass tip. It looks just like a furry little bunny 🙂 You could also cover them in white frosting and then roll the frosting in coconut, but if your kids feel the way mine do about coconut, that won’t be an option. You last option, and the one my kids used when decorating their cupcakes, is to use a knife and slather on the white frosting.
My kids loved taking these adorable cupcakes to school the next day. They got so many comments and questions about how they made them from both adults and their friends.
These cupcakes are adorable! I have used the cut marshmallows for flowers but they are perfect for bunny ears!
Thanks Wendy 🙂
How did you stick the ears on?
Hi Sara! Just stick them on after you frost the cupcake. The marshmallows will stick in the frosting perfectly!
For the coconut part.. would I frost them with a knife then dip them in coconut?
Hi Jenny! I didn’t use any coconut 🙂 The directions explain that I used a decorating tip.
How is it overnight? Can I make it the day before or still the marshmallows get stale?
Just be sure to store them in an airtight container Hannah!
