I love Easter Food Crafts. They are so much fun. Like this Bunny Butt Brownie, Easy Fudge Bunny cookies, and English Muffin Bunny Pizza

Easter is coming so quickly this year. On the one hand, I am excited to see Spring arrive. On the other hand, I am so not prepared! Thankfully, these cute little Easter Bunny Cupcakes are so simple to make that I might just be able to pull a fun Easter off without too much stress.  We were hit with a nasty blizzard last week in Northwest Indiana. The result was a pretty nice view to wake up to.

Tips and Tricks for Making these Easter Bunny Cupcakes

  • no fancy cupcake recipe is required. I just used a boxed cupcake mix
  • Mini marshmallows can be made flat with a rolling pin or just squeezed until flattened out a bit
  • use a small watercolor paintbrush to color the bunny feet with pink frosting
  • toothpicks are a great tool for making the toes for the bunny feet
  • for an added touch, you can add a mini marshmallow that has been cut in half to the back of the cupcake wrapper for the bunny tail
