With the kids wanting to get in the kitchen with me, I am always looking for easy holiday cupcakes to make since we love cupcakes in our house!

To decorate these Easter cupcakes you are going to need colored sugar. You can buy it in the store or you can learn how to color sugar and make it whatever colors you want to.

Bunny Ears Cupcakes

Bunny Ears Cupcakes Ingredients

• 24 Cupcakes
• Vanilla Homemade Buttercream Recipe
• Marshmallows
• Pastel colored Sugar
• Coconut

How to Make Bunny Ears Cupcakes

• Bake your cupcakes and let them cool. While the cupcakes are cooling make your frosting.
• You will also want to prep your bunny ears now as well. Using kitchen shears, cut the marshmallows in half at a angle. Dip the sticky side of the marshmallow into the sanding sugar. You need 2 ears per cupcake, so one marshmallow per cupcake.
• Once your frosting is made, your cupcakes are cooled and your bunny ears are done place your buttercream in a piping bag with a large tip.
• Pipe the buttercream on the top of the cupcakes. If you are unsure on how to do this, check out how to make a cupcake swirl. It is super easy! You only want to have a small cupcake swirl for these cupcakes.
• Next dip the cupcakes into the coconut making sure to keep a round shape.
• Once all of your cupcakes are frosted and have the coconut on the top of them it is time to put your bunny ears on.
• Place a small dot of buttercream to the bottom of the marshmallow and stick two ears on a cupcake.
