BUNNY CUPCAKES Here’s an EASY last minute desse BUNNY CUPCAKES

Here’s an EASY last minute dessert idea for Easter. These bunny cupcakes are so much fun and super easy to make!

First bake your cupcakes and ice them. I used boxed cake mix and iced them as I normally would. 

Next gently roll the cupcake icing in coconut flakes to look like bunny fur. 

Cut a large marshmallow in half on the diagonal and dip the sticky sides in pink sugar sprinkles. 

Place marshmallow “ears” on top of the cupcake. Bunny cupcake complete! 

Enjoy!

3 Carrot Themed Easter Ideas: Here are some last 3 Carrot Themed Easter Ideas:

Here are some last minute EASY Easter Ideas: 

1) Orange napkins wrapped around green cutlery to create the look of carrots when entertaining. You can secure with cooking twine and display in an empty terracotta pot for a festive touch, or on my favorite bunny cake stand!

2) Carrot shaped treat bags: fill cone shaped bags with cheese balls or goldfish crackers; secure with a twist tie and tie a green ribbon around the top. The treat looks orange like a carrot and makes a fun snack or party favor!

3) Mini pepper ‘carrots’: I buy bags of mini peppers and use the orange ones for this appetizer or snack. Slice peppers in half lengthwise and fill each pepper half with cream cheese or  ranch dip. (I use the ranch packets and substitute plain yogurt for the sour cream.) Finally, place a sprig of dill at the wider end to make the mini pepper look like a carrot. These are a cute and tasty appetizer or snack!
