How to make bunny butt cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cupcake papers in a cupcake pan. In a large bowl, sift the dry ingredients together until incorporated. Including the sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients until combined. (The batter will be clumpy! Do not worry!)
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
- Distribute the batter evenly into cupcake papers. Bake for 15-20 min or until golden and springy to the touch.
- In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the room temperature butter, confectioners sugar and salt until fluffy. Add green food coloring, milk, vanilla and mix until a desired color is reached. Save some buttercream in a bowl. Transfer the rest to a piping bag fitted with a small grass tip.
- Dye some fondant pink. Roll 6 small circles and 2 small ovals for the pads of the bunny feet. Add to the feet.
- Roll a ball of fondant against a cup or glass with a rounded bottom to create the body of the bunny.
- Roll out 2 medium ovals for the feet. Add to the body. Roll a circle. Dip in water then in white sanding sugar. Attach to the body for a tail.
- Assemble bunny butt.
- Add on a layer of buttercream to the cupcake with a small spatula. This will be the bed of grass.
- Pipe grass around the edge of the cupcake using a 233 tip.
- Add the bunny butt. Fill in with the grass tip.
