Bunny Butt Cupcakes

Some-bunny got a little too excited for Easter treats and took a dive—right into a cupcake! These Bunny Butt Cupcakes are the ultimate hoppening dessert for your Easter spread, featuring fluffy little cottontails and feet sticking straight up like they’ve gone burrowing for snacks, which, relatable, honestly. They’re almost too cute to eat… almost. So grab your whisk, get egg-cited, and let’s bake up a batch of these sweet little bunny booties before they hop off the table!

Peter Cottontail would be so jealous right now if he were real.

I’m so egg-cited and I just can’t hide it…it’s been a few weeks since I’ve done any major baking, so this was a fun one to hop back into. As you can see, my pun game is still strong regardless. I had half a batch of leftover Lucky Charms cupcakes sitting in the freezer along with half a batch of leftover frosting, so I decided to conglomerate Easter with St. Patrick’s Day for this idea, and I am sure that somewhere, a patron saint of something is whipping through an instruction manual to see what rules this breaks, but I’ve yet to be smited (smoted?) while eating one of these cupcakes, so praise be to the Easter Bunny? These are super simple and fun to throw together, and they would be a great Easter family activity to make, eat, and eventually fight over the last one, as is tradition.

Alright, are you all ears? Listen up, because you’ll need:

  • A dozen cupcakes of your choice
  • Half a batch of plain white frosting (buttercream, cream cheese, whipped, any work!)
  • White chocolate, grated into fine bits (you could also use coconut shavings, white sanding sugar, or skinny white sprinkles)
  • Pink gel dye
  • A #5 round tip
  • Large marshmallows
  • Mini marshmallows

I’ve got a gallery tutorial and a video tutorial below, so consider this me putting all my eggs into one Easter basket:

Hare’s to a sweet celebration!
Every-bunny needs a cupcake.
No bunny compares to you.
