Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Today Im sharing a fun little Easter Bunny Cupcake that was a real hit last Easter. I love the idea of a no-bake dessert and wanted to make a simple little Easter treat. I decided to use a few supplies that I had in the house and create something special for the kids, Mr. Easter Donut Bunny!

He would also make an adorable centerpiece for a plate of colorful cupcakes if you didnt want to make a pile of donut bunny cupcakes. I think putting him in the center surrounded by pastel colored cupcakes with some easy embellishments like chocolate eggs and green-dyed coconut for "grass" would be so sweet.

This is what youll need:

-Cupcakes
-Powdered donuts
-Pink marshmallows (I used the heart kind because thats what I had, but you could also use the small pastel ones that you can find in stores now)
-Black round sprinkles
-Red mini M&Ms
-Pink peanut M&Ms (or jelly beans would work, too)
-Small white marshmallows
-Toothpicks
-Karo syrup (light corn syrup)
- Clean paintbrushes
- Uncooked angel hair pasta noodles (or spaghetti noodles)
- Black food coloring
- Colored coconut (or you could use green sparkling sugar or green sprinkles for grass)
- Can of white frosting (to act as glue)



Step 1: Add a little colored coconut to the top of your cupcake (you can color coconut by placing a little green food dye in a small plastic container with a lid and adding coconut - then put the lid on and shake until the coconut is dyed). Put a donut on top of your cupcake and insert a toothpick into another donut and stand it on top of the first donut.

Step 2: Cut another donut in half to make bunny ears.

Step 3: Add a half of a toothpick to each ear and stick them on top of your middle donut.

Step 4: Add a little white frosting to the center of your middle donut.

Step 5: Make a nose by placing a pink peanut M&M or a jelly bean into the icing and hold for a minute until it sticks.

Step 6: Cut a small white marshmallow in half for the eyes. Next, add a little Karo syrup to your marshmallow with a paintbrush and adhere a round black sprinkle to the center for an eyeball. If you cant find round black sprinkles (I get mine around Halloween at Walmart), just use a black edible marker to make a pupil or you could just use chocolate chips for the eyes. Now add a little white frosting the back of your marshmallow and place it on your bunny face above the nose. Repeat for the other eye.


Step 7: Cut your pink heart marshmallow in half and pinch the sticky side together to make the marshmallow rounded. Add frosting to the back side and place under the bunnys nose to make cheeks. Repeat for the other cheek.


Step 8: Add a mini red M&M in the middle of the cheeks for a tongue. You can attach it with a little frosting.

Step 9: Use a clean paintbrush to brush some black food coloring onto a piece of uncooked angel hair pasta (or spaghetti noodle). Wipe off the excess with a paper towel, and then cut your noodle into pieces about 1.5" long. Use a toothpick to make 3 small holes on each side of the bunnys cheeks and place the noodle inside the hole with a little frosting.


Step 10: Pat yourself on the back -- YOU DID IT!!

Cute! Cute! The kids will love them! Just be sure to serve them to older kids and tell them about the toothpicks. If you want to serve them to the younger kids, just remove the toothpicks first.

Easy Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes AND Free Printable Toppers

Easy Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes AND Free Printable Toppers


SO moist and most importantly super easy!! Give these blueberry lemon cupcakes a try.









Blueberry & Lemon Cupcakes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Mix together the following
1 box of white cake mix ( I used Pilsbury Classic White mix, with pudding)
1 can of blueberry pie filling
2 eggs
1 tsp lemon extract

Place cupcake wrappers in cupcake tin and fill each wrapper 1/2 full of cupcake batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes (depending on your oven). Be sure to check with a toothpick to see if they are done, the looks on these are deceiving and will burn before you know it.  When done, put onto a cooling rack then place in a container and put in fridge until ready to serve.

Lemon Buttercream Frosting
Beat together

1/2 cup of room temperature butter (soft, but not melted)
2-3 cups of powdered sugar (add slowly one cup at a time)
2 tsp lemon extract
2-3 Tbls whipping cream


Frosting should be light and fluffy. Add to chilled cupcakes right before serving. Refrigerate any left overs or if you need to double the batch of frosting if you like to pile it on to each cupcake!

 TFIOS fans, these printable cupcake toppers are now FREE to download through this post, The Fault In Our Stars Movie Premiere Party At Home. 

Enjoy & DFTBA!

Event Cupcakes Go 2

Event Cupcakes Go 2


 Buenos días chicos! En cuánto nos enteramos de que Cupcakes&Go lanzaban sus nuevos IceCakes, mi amiga Olga y yo
 no lo dudamos! Nos fuimos a merendar el sábado y aprovechamos para echar estas fotos. Nunca habíamos ido a esta cafetería, ya que a menudo íbamos a la de la Alameda que está más cerca de casa, y la decoración no pudo fascinarnos
 más! ¿No es bonita?
Probamos sus tradicionales cupcakes y los nuevos con helado. Están tan buenos como los normales pero sustituyen la
crema por helado y sirope, aquí en Sevilla lo agradecemos muchísimo! Para bajar todo esto... unos riquísimos frappés.
Espero que os gusten las fotos y a los que sois de Sevilla (o los que venís de visita) no dudéis en acercaros!
Os encantará! ?

Good morning guys! Last Saturday my friend Olga and I went to Cupcakes & Go. We ate their traditional cupcakes and 
new Icecakes with ice cream. The new cupcakes are delicious. To drink, we had candy and chocolate frappes. I hope 
you enjoy the pictures and do not hesitate to visit! Youll love it! ?
