How to make Easter bunny cupcakes?
Share on social media:
For the cupcakes:
1. To make these cupcakes, sift the dry ingredients (including sugar) together in a large bowl, then mix the wet ingredients together in a separate medium bowl.
2. Add the wet mixture to the dry and mix until just combined.
3. Divide the batter evenly into cupcake liners and bake at 340F for approximately 20 minutes, or until the centers spring back when lightly touched. Keep in mind that baking time may vary depending on the size of your cupcakes.
For the Buttercream:
1. Whip the butter until it turns light and fluffy. Add sugar to the mixture, one cup at a time, and beat thoroughly. Incorporate milk slowly into the mixture until the desired consistency is achieved. Add in vanilla and green food coloring for flavor and color.
For the Assembly:
1. Using a spatula, spread a layer of buttercream onto the cupcakes, creating the appearance of grass. Transfer the remaining buttercream to a piping bag with a 133 tip attached.
2. Roll small balls of fondant, then wet and roll them in sanding sugar.
3. Take some fondant and press it into a rounded glass or small bowl to form the body of the bunny.
4. Roll out another piece of fondant to create thin sheets.
5. Use the back of a piping tip to cut out circular shapes for the feet, and roll them out to form ovals.
6. Mix a small amount of pink food coloring with fondant, and use two small round piping tips to create the pads for the bunny’s feet.
7. Assemble the bunny by brushing a small amount of water where the fondant needs to be joined. Pipe grass around the edge of the cupcake, place the bunny on top, and fill in the remaining space with the grass tip.
