Bunny Cupcakes

It is tradition in our family to make an Easter Bunny Cake. It is really fun and easy, but we eat a small amount and throw it out. Now that most of my family is health conscious they would rather taste something sweet them eat a whole big piece of cake. When my mother in law approached me this year to bake I wanted something that all will enjoy, and not feel guilty about, yet still held tradition of the bunny cake. Which is why this year the bunny cake had babies. They are so cute and simple, my sister and I spend the evening decorating them which is also a bonus when baking. You can include the family as well.

Ingredients:
2 Cupcake Cake Mix
1 container of white frosting
1 bag of coconut
1 bag large marshmallows
1 small bag of jelly beans
1 small bag peanut M and M's
1 pink gel icing
1 black gel icing
1 container of pink sprinkles
toothpicks or lollipop sticks

Cook your cupcakes according to package. Let them cool before decorating. Set up a bowl for your coconut, one for your sprinkles, m and m, and jelly beans. This way it is easy to get to. Take a knife and slice your marshmallow in half, stick your toothpick or pop stick inside so it is easy to place on the cake.

1) Frost your cooled cupcake
2) Dip in coconut
3) Take your marshmallows ears and dip in pink sprinkles, place them on the cupcake
4) Take jelly beans and place eyes
5) Take your M and M and make a noise
6) Use your black gel icing and make eyes and mouth
7) Use your pink gel and make whiskers

Place in a container and serve to friends and family.  SO CUTE!
