Description
Adorable Easter cupcakes decorated to look like a bunny diving into the grass! Fluffy cupcakes topped with sweet frosting, green coconut ‘grass’, marshmallow feet, and a cute tail — perfect for spring celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 cupcakes (your favorite flavor: vanilla, chocolate, or carrot cake)
- 2 cups buttercream or cream cheese frosting
- 1–2 cups shredded coconut (optional, tinted green)
- 12 large marshmallows (cut in half for feet)
- 12 mini marshmallows (for tails)
- 2 tbsp pink sanding sugar or pink frosting
- 24 white chocolate chips or candy melts (optional, for paw pads)
- Green food coloring (optional, for coconut grass)
Instructions
- Bake cupcakes according to your favorite recipe and let cool completely.
- If using coconut grass, tint shredded coconut green by tossing it with a few drops of green food coloring.
- Generously frost each cupcake with buttercream or cream cheese frosting.
- Sprinkle tops with green coconut to resemble grass.
- Cut each large marshmallow in half to create bunny feet.
- Decorate the feet by adding paw pads using pink sanding sugar, pink frosting, or melted white chocolate.
- Attach a mini marshmallow to each cupcake for the bunny tail, pressing gently into the frosting.
- Position the marshmallow feet at an angle so they look like the bunny is diving in.
- Chill briefly to set the decorations, if needed.
Notes
- Use chocolate sprinkles instead of coconut for a ‘dirt’ look.
- Add edible flowers for extra spring vibes.
- Fondant or modeling chocolate can be used instead of marshmallows.
- Try carrot cake cupcakes for a fun Easter flavor twist.
