How to make

STEP 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cups into 24 muffin pan cups; set aside.
STEP 2

Combine all cake ingredients in bowl; beat at low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium; beat until well mixed. Evenly fill prepared muffin cups with batter; bake 18-20 minutes or as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely in pan. Reserve 12 cupcakes for another use.
STEP 3

Form bunny head and ears by arranging 11 cupcakes very close together on 14x12-inch rectangular or 13-inch round serving tray. Remove 1 remaining cupcake from baking cup; cut in half horizontally.
STEP 4

Combine all frosting ingredients in bowl except whipping cream. Beat at low speed until well mixed. Increase speed to high; beat, adding enough whipping cream for desired frosting consistency.
STEP 5

Place 1/2 cup coconut in plastic container with cover; add 1 drop red food color. Cover container and shake, adding additional food color if necessary until coconut is tinted desired pink color; set aside.
STEP 6

Frost over cupcakes and spaces between them to create bunny head. Frost cut side of each cupcake half; place frosting side down onto row of 3 cupcakes for “bunny cheeks.” Frost cheeks.
STEP 7

Sprinkle pink coconut over bunny cheeks and along outer sides of each ear. Sprinkle white coconut onto all remaining areas.
STEP 8

Create eyes, nose and mouth using assorted candies, miniature marshmallows and chocolate chips.

Tip #1

Another option for decorating bunny face is to sprinkle white and pink decorator sugars over frosting instead of coconut.
