Easter Bunny Cupcake Recipe

Easter Bunny Cupcakes will be the perfect addition to your Easter Dessert Table. They have a cute little bunny and little Easter eggs!

Our simple Easter Bunny Cupcakes are kid friendly and are a great way to introduce the kids to baking!

These easy to make Easter themed cupcakes go together quickly since the recipe uses a store-bought cake mix, ready made frosting, Ghirardelli bunnies, and Sixlets.

While the cupcakes are baking, why not cut out a bunny bookmark? The kids can also write a letter to their Grandparents or friends with our Spring themed printable Easter stationery!

DO I HAVE TO USE STORE BOUGHT FROSTING?

No, you can make your own from scratch if you prefer.

CAN I USE JELLY BEANS FOR THE DEOCRATIONS?

Absolutely! Any candy will do.

CAN I MAKE 24 CUPCAKES INSTEAD OF 12?

Yes. Just use the regular cupcake liners that have the normal sides on them.

HOW DO I STIFFEN UP REGULAR CANNED FROSTING?

By slowly adding in powdered sugar. It’s really that simple.

HOW TO MAKE OUR EASY EASTER BUNNY CUPCAKES

Ingredients:

Cake mix (use ingredients listed on the box)
Ready-made frosting
Powdered sugar
Decorating bags
Wilton frosting tip #2010
Green food coloring
12 Ghirardelli little bunnies
Sixlet candies
Easter Cupcake Liners

Directions:

Preheat your oven following the directions on your box of cake mix.
Line your muffin tin with the cupcake liners.
Prepare your cake mix as directed on your store-bought cake mix box.
Using a cookie scoop, add the cake batter into the liners. Fill the liners until they are ⅔ filled.
Bake the cupcakes until they are done approximately 15 minutes, or the time listed on the cake mix bought from the store.
Remove the cupcakes when the oven when they are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cupcake comes out clean.
While they are cooling, make up your frosting.
Empty your container of frosting into a mixing bowl, add one drop of green frosting in at a time until you get your desired color.
Then slowly incorporate a tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time. Your end goal is frosting that is stiff enough to pipe and that will hold up once it’s dried.
Put the icing tip into your cake decorating bag and push the tip down to the bottom of the bag.
NOTE: It will not go all of the way down. It will stop very close to the bottom.
Push the tip up a bit so you can cut the bottom of the bag off. Then re-push the tip to the bottom.
Fill the bag with the green frosting and then begin piping the cupcakes.
As soon as the cupcakes are frosted, add a bunny to each cupcake and add a few of the candies around the bunny.
And that is it. Are these not the cutest cupcakes for Easter ever?
