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!
