Bunny Cupcakes

I love spring and Easter and all of the fun and fresh treats that come with it! These bunny cupcakes quickly became a favorite with my kids, and they had so much fun helping me decorate them! I mean, they may have eaten too many marshmallows in the process, but hey, that’s part of the fun in baking, right?? These bunny cupcakes were so easy to make that I’m going to find every excuse to make them all year long! The best part about these cupcakes is that you can easily change out the flavor of cupcakes! I used chocolate cupcakes, but you could use white cupcakes or even lemon or strawberry! The possibilities are endless. In fact, try making a bunch of different flavors, and you can also change up the color of frosting and sprinkles so that they all look different. Baking is the best this way. Making it your own is half the fun!

Ingredients You Need to Make Bunny Cupcakes

Start making these early this spring so that you can make them as many times as possible! And trust me, your kids will LOVE these! So save yourself some time and double the batch! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

Vegetable Oil: If you want cupcakes that are moist and soft then you need to use vegetable oil!Warm Coffee: Don’t worry! Your cake won’t taste like coffee. This helps bring out the chocolate flavor in the cupcakes. Buttermilk: You can use storebought buttermilk or if you don’t have any then make some on your own! Check out that recipe here. Egg: Set your egg out so that it can come down to room temperature… It will mix in so much better into your batter. Vanilla: Add some more sweet flavor with a splash of vanilla! Flour: I used all purpose flour in this recipe. Granulated Sugar: Cupcakes need sugar to taste sweet and delicious. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Make sure that you don’t use Dutch Process cocoa powder. Baking Soda: This helps the cupcakes rise. Salt: The salt will enhance all of the other ingredients.

Buttercream Frosting

Butter: Use unsalted butter that has been brought down to room temperature.Powdered Sugar: This creates a sweet and smooth base for the frosting. Vanilla Extract: A little extra sweet flavor to make this buttercream taste perfect! Salt: This will enhance all of the flavors. Milk: This is what will bind all of the ingredients together. Marshmallows: You need large marshmallows and mini marshmallows for this recipe. Toppings: White Jimmy Sprinkles are used on the top of the cupcake and pink sanding sugar is used on the marshmallow bunny ears. Food Coloring: Black and pink for the nose and eyes.
