Easter Bunny Cupcakes

Happy Easter!!

I hope everyone had a happy Easter we sure did. Mariah and I made Easter bunny cupcakes and they were yummy. Chloe had a blast it was her first year doing an Easter egg hunt and once she figured out the eggs had candy in them she was more excited, and for Brooke it was her first Easter. Well lets get to it.

First we baked the cupcakes with white cake mix of course you can use whatever you prefer but with 3 kids and starting the cupcakes at 8 o'clock at night I went simple so I used the cake mix. I also went simple with the icing which was Betty Crocker's spray can cupcake icing. ( I know this is way simple but I have a new baby up all night and 2 others running around all day I'm lucky I had time to make cupcakes). I used the star tip and made the grass then Mariah put tooth picks through the peeps and placed them on the the cupcakes. Then she placed two robin eggs in front of the peep. It's simple, quick and cute and that is what I was going for so if your a tired mom like me these were perfect.


 The Bunny Army.
Mariah was so proud of these.

What You Will Need: 
1 box of cake mix
1 spray can of cupcake icing ( you can use whatever you prefer)
2 packages of peeps ( I bought blue and yellow)
1 package of robin eggs

Directions:
Follow the directions on the box of the cake mix, bake and cool.
Next using the star tip pipe the grass on each cupcake.
Then put a toothpick through the peep and place on the cupcake.
Finally place 2 robin eggs in front of the peep and you are done.
Enjoy!!
