Ingredients

  • 12 Pre-Baked Cupcakes
  • 2 ½ cups buttercream frosting
  • green gel food coloring 2-3 drops until you get your desired color
  • 12 donut holes cut in half for bunny bottoms
  • ½ cup shredded coconut for bunny tails
  • 12-18 mini marshmallows cut in half for bunny feet
  • Easter sprinkles optional

Instructions

  1. Fit the piping bag with a couple and decorating tip.
  2. Fill the bag halfway with green icing.
  3. Hold the piping above the cupcake, straight up and down and lightly touch the surface of the cupcake.
  4. Lift up as you very quickly squeeze. Stop squeezing and pull the piping bag up.
  5. Continue this process all the way around the top of the cupcake, squeezing and stopping creating the illusion of grass.

  11. Add coconut shreds to create a fluffy tail, this step is optional.
  12. Cut a mini marshmallow in half and stick the sticky side to the donut hole creating the feet.
  13. If the marshmallows will not stick, use a little bit of white icing to glue them to the donut
