Easter Bunny Cupcakes
These adorable Easter Bunny Cupcakes can be made using a boxed cake mix. Customize your cupcakes into bunnies with just a few extra ingredients. They’re almost too cute to eat! Almost.
You can make your cupcakes any flavor you like, but we chose white (since it’s going to be an Easter Bunny).
Try to resist eating them at this stage. Honestly, this is my favorite kind of cupcake…right out of the oven with no frosting. I know…weird, right?
Frost as usual. You can use homemade or pre-made frosting.
Time to make the bunny ears! All you need is marshmallows, scissors and hot pink sprinkles.
