Easy Cupcakes

These bunnies are cute at Easter or anytime. The marshmallow rabbit ears make them hoppin’ easy to make, and the coconut gives them a furry appearance.
What You Need: 1 cupcake; white frosting; coconut flakes; pink gel writing icing; pink sugar or sprinkles; regular-sized marshmallows; pink jellybean; 2 blue mini M&Ms.
How to Make It: Frost cupcake white. Sprinkle with coconut flakes. Cut marshmallow in half widthwise using kitchen shears or scissors with a bit of powdered sugar on them to prevent sticking. Dip sticky side of marshmallows in pink sugar, or sprinkle it on. Pinch marshmallow a bit to make ears long and pointy. Add M&M eyes and jelly bean nose. Use pink writing icing (we used the gel kind) to draw whiskers.

These lovely, pink-tinged flowers are made from marshmallows. If you’d prefer a smaller flower, just use mini marshmallows. A more colorful flower: tinted marshmallows. You get the picture.
What You Need: 1 cupcake (baked and cooled); frosting (we used pink); marshmallows; round red candy; pink sugar crystals; kitchen shears (or plain old scissors, but they’ll get sticky.)
How to Make It: Frost cupcake. Cut three marshmallows in half as shown. Sprinkle with pink sugar crystals, which will stick to the sticky marshmallows. Arrange 5 marshmallow halves on top of cupcake and place red candy in center. (You will have an extra marshmallow petal left over. Eat it or make more cupcakes.)
