There is something about Easter that really brings out the kid in me.
I start wanting to decorate eggs and I find myself wishing that the Easter Bunny still brought me a big basket filled with goodies.
Most of all, I start wanting to bake wonderful treats like these Easter Bunny Cupcakes!
If you love Easter cupcakes, you’ve gotta check these out.
You can make them any flavor you want them, of course, as long as it goes well with white frosting.
Along with that fluffy white frosting, you gather goodies like Marshmallows, Mini Jelly Beans, Pink Sparkling Sanding Sugar, and even some coconut flakes if you want to make your bunny fur look really cool!
Another fun thing about these Easter Bunny Cupcakes is that you can get the family involved.
Pile all your decorating goodies in the center of a table and let your kids help you make these lovely little bunny cupcakes.
After all, making them is almost as much fun as eating them!
