  • 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

Notes

*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
