    These simple Easter Bunny Cupcakes make a great Easter activity fo the kids! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

    Although there is no doubt that Easter recipes are normally ALL about the Chocolate (and not that there is anything really wrong with that!) it’s also nice to enjoy something a little different.  These easy Easter Bunny Cupcakes are made using a yummy vanilla cupcake as the base and they are then topped with a light buttercream.  To decorate, you simply cut a marshmallow in half to use as the bunny’s ears and then pop a pink smart on for its nose – too easy!

    These Easter Bunny Cupcakes are just perfect for the kids to decorate in the lead up to Easter and they also would make the perfect Easter dessert.  You can make the cupcakes a day or two in advance if necessary and then just simply store them in an airtight container until you are ready to decorate them.  When making the buttercream, please don’t be alarmed by the quantity of ingredients, you want to have more buttercream than normal to ensure each cupcake has a lovely thick layer to create the bunnies ‘face’ and also lets face it, if the kids are helping you put these together, they will probably want to taste test some of the icing along the way too!

    My Top Tips for making these Easter Bunny Cupcakes:

    • The time it takes for your cupcake mixture (and also your buttercream mixture) to combine can be impacted by the temperature of your butter. It’s best to use butter which has been bought to room temperature for this recipe.
    • You can also use icing sugar mixture for the buttercream.
    • These vanilla cupcakes can also be frozen (before they are decorated) for up to one month.
    • You can make these cupcakes a day or two in advance before decorating them.
