    Using photo as a guide, frost and decorate cupcakes. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

  • If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
  • Get your little bakers in on the fun. Once cupcakes are cooled and frosted, have them decorate the bunny faces to their liking!

  • Substitute Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix for the yellow cake mix in this recipe. Be sure to follow the directions on the box for the amounts of water, vegetable oil and eggs and number of cupcakes. Bake cupcakes as directed on box.
