Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Vanilla cupcakes baked and cooled
  • Vanilla buttercream frosting
  • Yellow food coloring
  • White and yellow sprinkles
  • Large and mini marshmallows
  • Pink sanding sugar
  • Orange candies such as M&M’s or Chiclets
  • Black decorator icing
  • Jelly beans
  • Clear sanding sugar

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Frosting – Divide the buttercream into two bowls. Tint one portion yellow for the chick cupcakes, leaving the other portion white for the bunny cupcakes.
  2. Decorate the Bunny Cupcakes – Frost the cupcakes with white buttercream. Cut large marshmallows in half diagonally and dip the sticky sides in pink sanding sugar to create ears. Place them on top of the cupcakes. Add a pink jelly bean for the nose, mini marshmallow halves for cheeks, and black icing dots for eyes.
  3. Decorate the Chick Cupcakes – Pipe yellow frosting onto the cupcakes. Cover with yellow sprinkles and clear sanding sugar for texture. Add an orange candy for the beak and black icing dots for the eyes.
  4. Serve and Enjoy – Arrange the decorated cupcakes on a platter and serve at your Easter celebration

Notes

  • Store-bought cupcakes and frosting can be used for convenience.
  • Adjust food coloring to achieve the desired shade of yellow for the chicks.
  • If frosting is too soft for decorating, chill it for 10–15 minutes before piping.
  • Cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
