Making these Easter Bunny Cupcakes was so fun and easy. Using a boxed cake mix for the cupcakes and homemade buttercream frosting to make the bunny. Your kids or grandkids will love helping make them.
Easter Bunny Cupcakes
Cupcakes are so versatile, you can decorate them to fit any occasion. Did you try my Easy Back To School Cupcakes or Candy Cane Cupcakes? Recently I shared Lucky Cupcakes With Irish Cream Frosting they were perfect with St. Patricks Day Coming.
With the exception of probably Christmas, Easter is my favorite holiday. With Easter usually comes Spring, although growing up in upstate NY, that wasn't always the case. There were plenty of years that it was still cold and even years that we had snow. However, in general, it meant spring was on its way. All things would be new again.
Now that I'm a mother and grandmother, the holidays are so special. My children and grandchildren all come for ham dinner with all the fixings. Extra Creamy Instant Pot Mac and Cheese will be on the menu for sure. For the past few years, I have made it a tradition to get all the kids their swimsuits and beach towels along with candy in their baskets.
These Easter Bunny Cupcakes are just one of many Easter treats that I will be sharing. Look for my peep's cookies and my Bunny Butt Cake.
