You're just a hop away from making deliciously sweet bunny cupcakes. Cake mix and ready-to-spread frosting make it extra easy.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix or 1 box (16.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ White Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 2 tubs (12 oz) Betty Crocker™ Whipped Fluffy White Frosting
  • Pink, yellow, green, blue and red food coloring
  • 5 large marshmallows
  • Betty Crocker™ colored decorating sugars (pink, green, yellow and purple)
  • Betty Crocker™ chocolate sprinkles
  • Betty Crocker™ pastel-colored confetti candy sprinkles

Directions

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place pink, green or yellow paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 2
    Place small amount of frosting in each of 4 custard cups. Mix frosting with food colorings to desired colors. Frost cupcakes with pink, green, yellow and purple frosting.
  • 3
    Spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful white frosting on center of each cupcake for bunny head. To make ears, cut each large marshmallow crosswise into 5 pieces with kitchen scissors. Using scissors, cut through center of each marshmallow piece to within 1/4 inch of edge. Separate to look like bunny ears; press 1 side of cut edges into colored sugar, flattening slightly. Arrange on each of the white icing mounds as shown. Use sugar, sprinkles and confetti to make eyes, nose and whiskers as shown. Store loosely covered.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.
