Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 cans vanilla frosting (16 ounces each)
  • Green paste food coloring
  • Cupcakes and miniature cupcakes of your choice
  • Candy-coated sunflower kernels
  • Assorted stick chewing gum
  • Jumbo heart sprinkles
  • Canned chocolate frosting
  • Miniature marshmallows
  • Corn syrup
  • White nonpareils

Directions

  1. Tint desired amount of frosting green. Cut a small hole in the corner of pastry or plastic bag; insert #4 round pastry tip. Fill bag with green frosting; pipe grass onto desired amount of cupcakes. Sprinkle with sunflower kernels.
  2. For bunny faces, pipe white frosting over tops of cupcakes using a #4 round pastry tip. Using clean kitchen scissors or a small sharp knife, cut gum into ear shapes of various sizes. Attach smaller centers onto the larger pieces with a small amount of frosting.
  3. Pinch base end of each ear, forming a curved shape. Press into tops of cupcakes. Place a heart sprinkle on each cupcake for nose. Using a #2 round pastry tip, pipe eyes, whiskers and a mouth on each face with chocolate frosting.
  4. For bunnies, pipe white frosting over remaining cupcakes. Place a miniature cupcake onto a larger cupcake; secure with a toothpick. For a bunny tail, dip a marshmallow in corn syrup; roll in nonpareils. Place on cupcake. Repeat as desired.
