You’re just a hop away from creating these deliciously sweet bunny cupcakes! This recipe is the perfect way to introduce your little ones to a springtime baking project. Not only are these cute-as-button cupcakes fun to make, they’re also a treat to eat. And since they’re made with Betty’s cake mix and fluffy white frosting, you can fuss less with the baking and focus more on the decorating. Marshmallows and pink sugar create the floppiest bunny ears you’ve ever seen and little candy hearts make alarmingly cute bunny noses! Don’t forget the candy eyeballs—they’ll really complete your funny, bunny faces. Hoppy baking!

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Frost cupcakes.
  • 3
    To make ears, cut each large marshmallow crosswise in 4 pieces with kitchen shears. Press 1 side of cut edges into pink sugar, flattening slightly and pinch ends together to make ear shape.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    To decorate as shown here, you’ll need 24 heart-shaped candy decors and 48 candy eyeballs.
  • tip 3
    Get your little bakers in on the fun. Once cupcakes are cooled and frosted, have them decorate the bunny faces to their liking!
  • tip 4
    Love bunny cakes? This Bunny Butt Cake is a classic among Betty fans. It’s Peter Cottontail in all his glory!
