Bunny Cupcakes

Perfect for Easter or other fun celebrations, these bunny cupcakes really are so easy to make. With just a few ingredients, and using store-bought or box-mix cupcakes, you really just need to carve out 30 minutes to make them. Be sure to have a few extra toppings (marshmallows, chocolate chips, and pink candies) in case you need to re-decorate any or just for snacking.
