Bunny Butt Cupcakes

Step 1

Sift the dry ingredients (including sugar) together in a large bowl.

Step 2

Mix the wet ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Step 3

Add the wet to the dry and mix until just combined.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into cupcake papers.

Step 5

Bake at 340F for about 20 minutes or until the centers are springy to the touch. Baking time depends on the size of your cupcakes.

Step 6

Beat the butter until light and fluffy, add the sugar a cup at a time and beat well. Mix in milk until desired consistency is reached. Add vanilla and green food coloring.

Step 7

Use a spatula to add a layer of grass to the cupcakes.  Transfer the rest of the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with a 133 tip.

Step 8

Roll fondant into small balls. Wet and roll in sanding sugar.

Step 9

Press some fondant into a rounded glass or small bowl to form the body.

Step 10

Roll some fondant out to a thin sheet. Use the back of a piping tip to cut circles for the feet. Roll the circles out a bit to form ovals. Mix the pink food coloring with a small amount of fondant. Roll out and use 2 small round piping tips to create the pads for the feet.

Step 11

Assemble by brushing a small amount of water where the fondant needs to be joined.

Step 12

Pipe grass around the edge of the cupcake. Place the bunny. Fill in with the grass tip.
