Instructions

  • Prepare the Funfetti cake mix based on the cupcake instructions and allow the cupcakes to cool completely at room temperature.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and butter until combined and smooth.
  • Then slowly add in the confectioners’ sugar (1 cup at a time) on low speed until well combined.
  • Then stir in the vanilla extract and milk until combined. Separate the icing into 2 mixing bowls.  Leave one of the bowls white and then add a few drops of the green food coloring into the other bowl and stir until the frosting is a bright green color.
  • Place the green frosting in a decorator’s bag with a star tip and place the white frosting into a decorator’s bag with a round tip.
  • With the white frosting, pipe a circle in the middle of the cupcake to form the “bunny butt”.  Top the white frosting with the white sanding sugar.
  • Use the green frosting to pipe the “grass” around the white frosting.
  • Then top each cupcake with a mini marshmallow for the tail and 2 of the bunny feet.
  • Then the cupcakes are ready to serve and enjoy!
