Ingredients

To create these delightful cupcakes, you’ll need:

  • 1 box cake mix (any flavor: vanilla, chocolate, or funfetti)
  • Cupcake liners (choose fun Easter-themed designs if available)
  • Frosting (white or pastel colors, store-bought or homemade)
  • Mini marshmallows (for bunny ears)
  • Chocolate chips or candy (for cute eyes)
  • Shredded coconut (optional, for an extra fluffy look)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cupcakes: Preheat your oven as directed on the cake mix box. Line a cupcake pan with your chosen liners. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the package. Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the box (usually around 18-22 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, it’s time to frost! Use a spatula or a piping bag to spread or pipe the frosting generously onto each cupcake. For a festive touch, you can tint the frosting with food coloring to create soft pastel shades like pink, blue, or yellow.

  3. Add Bunny Features: Next, it’s time to create the bunny faces! Cut mini marshmallows in half diagonally to form the bunny ears and gently press them into the frosting at the top of each cupcake. Use two chocolate chips or small candies for the eyes, gently pressing them into the frosting. If you desire a fluffy look, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the frosting to resemble soft bunny fur.

  4. Serve and Enjoy: Your adorable Easter Bunny Cupcakes are now ready to serve! Arrange them on a festive platter and watch as they bring smiles to everyone’s faces. These cupcakes are not only easy to make but also a fun activity for kids, making them a perfect addition to your Easter celebration!
