Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cupcakes

Follow the instructions on the cake mix box or prepare your favorite cupcake recipe. Pour into lined cupcake trays and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes. Let them cool completely before decorating.

Step 2: Prepare the Bunny Ears

Cut large marshmallows diagonally to create ear shapes. Dip the sticky side into pink sugar to mimic the soft inner ear. Set aside.

Step 3: Frost and Fluff

Spread a generous amount of buttercream frosting on each cupcake. Then, roll the tops in shredded coconut to give that fluffy bunny look.

Step 4: Create the Face

Place two candy eyes near the top, a pink jellybean in the center for the nose, and mini marshmallows at the bottom for the cheeks or tail. Add the ears by sticking them gently into the top of the cupcake.
