Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place pink paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
2 Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for cupcakes, using water, oil and eggs. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3 Meanwhile, line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Melt white candy melts as directed on package; pour melted candy into squirt bottle. Draw 48 bunny ears on parchment paper with melted white candy. Melt pink candy melts; pour into another squirt bottle. Fill in middle of white ears with pink candy. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
4 Use drop of melted white candy to attach 1 white candy-coated chocolate candy to paper baking cup for bunny tail; hold 30 seconds or until set. Repeat with remaining white candy-coated chocolate candies.
5 Spread 3 tablespoons frosting on each cupcake top. On front of each cupcake (side opposite the bunny tail), add 2 chocolate chips for eyes, 1 pink candy-coated chocolate candy for nose and 1 red candy heart, turned upside down, for mouth. Insert 3 noodle pieces on each side of nose for whiskers. Gently press 2 ears into top of each cupcake.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Make white bunnies by using white cake mix and white frosting.

If you don’t have squirt bottles for the melted candy, use a resealable food-storage plastic bag and cut off a tiny corner of the bag for piping.

Look for somen noodles in the Asian-foods section of the grocery store, but if you can’t find them, thin spaghetti will work well too.

These were so cute, I just had to make them. I used the Strawberry Cake Mix, but made my own cream cheese frosting, I just added a little strawberry jam to my frosting recipe, and they were fantastic. The noodles for wiskers was a little time consuming, so after a few of them, I just little red candy straws. There are all kinds of ways to improvise what you use on the face. To "Mama Sparks", you can get pink muffin cups at a craft store like Michaels, or similar stores that have a "Wilton" baking aisle. Too bad we can't upload pictures of how our cupakes look after we made them.

I made a double batch of these to take into work for the Friday before Easter. Took a very long time to make/decorate. Couldn't find all of the ingredients so I made the following substitutions: 1.) instead of pink and white M&Ms I used red and white gumdrops cut in half; 2.) instead of mini chocolate chips for eyes I used blue and green round discs/sprinkles; 3.) instead of red hearts/sprinkles I used white hearts and stuck the point straight into the frosting right under the nose so it looked like two bunny buck teeth; 4.) instead of strawberry cake mix and frosting I used cherry chip mix and made a cherry buttercream frosting from scratch. So overall, a lot of work, but I received TONS of compliments on them. Lots of people took pictures to send to friends. So a nice, one-time only effort for me.
