A small paintbrush
Scissors
- 18 Cupcakes baked in White Cupcake Wrappers
- 16 oz. Vanilla Frosting
- Red food coloring
- Sweetened Coconut flakes
- 5 oz. Mini marshmallows
- 5 oz. Regular size marshmallows
- Pink sugar sprinkles
Spread some vanilla frosting onto each cooled cupcake
Sprinkle coconut shavings over the top
Mix a small portion of the vanilla frosting with the red dye to make a pastel pink color
Place the mini marshmallows out and lay them so they are on their sides
Press or roll the mini marshmallows down so they are pretty flat
Paint little footprints on with the small paintbrush and the pink frosting
Use some vanilla frosting to glue the feet onto the front of the cupcake wrapper
Cut the regular-sized marshmallows in half at a diagonal
Press the sticky inside part of the marshmallow into the pink sugar to make bunny ears
Put the bunny ears on top of the cupcake - pressing down gently to put them in place
*if they are not staying - add some frosting to the bottom of the bunny ears to help set them in place
Repeat for more.
*if your cupcake wrappers don't look great after baking in them, you can insert your cupcakes into a stiff paper wrapper. I'll include a link to Amazon of some that I have in mind
