Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your Bunny Cupcakes turn out perfectly:

• Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best mixing results.
• Don’t overfill the cupcake liners; 3/4 full is just right to allow for rising.
• Experiment with different colors of cake mixes for a fun twist!
• Use a piping bag for the frosting to create a more polished look.
• For a fun family activity, let the kids decorate their own cupcakes!

How to Serve

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these Bunny Cupcakes ahead of time, you can bake the cupcakes a day in advance and store them in an airtight container at room temperature. Frost them the day you plan to serve them to keep the frosting fresh and fluffy. These cupcakes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, but I doubt they’ll last that long—they’re just too cute and delicious!
