Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Looking for Easter Dessert ideas? These Easy Bunny Cupcakes are made with marshmallow and sprinkle ears! So easy to do! All you need are cupcakes (any flavor), white frosting (I love cream cheese frosting on top of these lemon cupcakes), large marshmallows, some scissors and pink sprinkles! These are perfect for easter and even great for a kid’s cupcake decorating party 🙂

Cake Mix Cupcakes

I love when I look down and my entire work space matches and coordinates 🙂  Even days after making these, my house still smells like lemons, I love it!  Can it be summer already? You’ll notice I use a white cake mix and not a lemon one. I add fresh lemon juice and zest because I prefer the taste. It just tastes less artificial. You’ll also notice I use a Pillsbury mix, it’s the only mix I buy! I really do prefer it to all the others.

How to make Bunny Cupcakes for Easter

So, this isn’t a new idea. I’m sure you’ve seen people make these cute bunny ears on Pinterest and instagram, but I wanted to give it a try myself.  I had way too much fun snipping all the marshmallows in half (sometimes popping one half into my mouth). I did start to dip the cut side of the mallow into the sprinkles (I used pink sanding sugar), but I ended up just sprinkling them in with my fingers because I had a little more control that way.  But I think every marshmallow brand and set of scissors will be a little different.

If you want to make a bunny face, just use chocolate candies or chocolate chips to make little eyes!

Marshmallow Bunny Ears for Easter

 And that’s how you make bunny ears for cupcakes and all your Easter desserts!

I’m really into making cute cupcakes that everyone can recreate.  No fondant, no intense piping skills needed.  Sort of like my adorable Carrot Garden Cupcakes I’m loving right now…

You can roll the frosted cupcakes in shredded coconut to make it look more like “bunny fur” but I opted not to.  Not everyone loves coconut and I was making these for a party so I played it safe.  But if your family loves coconut, then go for it!

Easy Easter Cupcake Decorating Ideas! The Marshmallow Bunny Ears are so cute! I love a good cake mix recipe! No need to measure out flour, salt, sugar, baking powder… just dump in the cake mix and add a few extra things!  For all your cake mix haters, you can absolutely use a lemon or white cake recipe you love and decorate them like this.  The buttercream frosting is quite lovely, so give that a try! This would be perfect for a cupcake decorating party with your kids or have them invite a handful of friends over. You could put different color sprinkles in a muffin tin/ cupcake pan for them to dip their marshmallow ears into! Though I will remind you during your prep, don’t cut up the marshmallows until you’re ready to decorate because their stickiness dulls in the open air.

  2. Super cute!!!

    One question: How did you get such a perfect mound of frosting? You didn’t pipe it on, did you? I don’t see any piping or spreading texture marks on it.

  3. These are so cute! Going to make them for my grandkids at Easter, can’t wait! And by the way, how did you get the frosting like that? Did you use a large round tip or just a hole in a piping bag? Thanks again for this sweet idea!

  4. I just used a big circle tip and piped one bit glob on top, You can practice on the top of a glass or something until you get it right!

  5. That’s exactly right! I just piped one big glob on top with a piping tip!

  10. These are absolutely adorable and I LOVE how easy they are to make! My kids would even help with the process. 🙂 Pinning, Stumbling and Yumming!

  11. Lizzy, If I make mini cupcakes howlong should I bake them? Mini marshmallows should work for the ears right? Thanks Theresa

  12. I am not so good with piping. Could I spread white frosting and then dip in white coconut? Then add the ears?? I love coconut and it would hide the imperfections of the frosting!! Gotta try!

  16. I’ve always wanted to make these and I finally get the chance this year at my preschoolers spring picnic! Did you put an extra cupcake wrapper on for the photo or did you use those no fade wrappers? Thank you!

  17. Can you tell me what size decorator tip you used for the bunny cupcakes, I’m a beginner…….Thanks.

  18. Hi,
    Starter baker here. Can you go into a little more detail on how to put the frosting on? I have the big circle tip and a bag for the frosting. Do I just put a pile of the frosting in the middle and spread it?

  19. It’s remarkable to pay a quick visit this web page and reading the views of all mates regarding this article, while I am
    also keen of getting experience.

  20. I am so glad I found this website. I made this bunny cupcakes for work and everyone was so hesitate to eat it because they were so lovely. They eventually ate it and complimented how good they were. I changed my recipe a little, I bought a lemon premix box. I followed the frosting, but it came out too watery. However, I copied the decoration and I love it. I can’t wait to make them again for other occasions. I will also follow your other recipes. Keep it up!! Love love love your work!!!

  21. Way cool! Sߋme very valid poіnts! I appreⅽіate yоu writing this post plus the rest of the site
    is very good.

    I have made these cupcakes every year for Easter and everyone always wants more! These are my go-to treats and the lemon flavor is always fresh and bold! Love them!

    I followed the recipe and instructions perfectly and they did not rise and that are under baked (I cooked them for 25 mins!) as well as crumbly. They don’t even taste that good! two thumbs down

    I love the taste and the bunny ears were a it. I had to make some adjustments. I doubled the ingredients for the icing. I added the vanilla extract which made the icing mocha colored which is not the white icing in the photos so I threw it out and did it again without the vanilla extract. I also don’t know how to make the frosting so perfect and round so I messed that up grandly. A little more teaching would be helpful in terms of the minor details of artistry. Otherwise, the cupcakes were a hit. Thank you!
