Nothing is cuter at Easter time than these adorable bunny cupcakes. Kids and adults will be delighted and charmed when you bring this treat to your next gathering.
They look like basic cupcakes, but the addition of lemon extract and grated lemon peel in the batter add a spring-like flavor boost that pairs really well with the toasted coconut.
They’re still easy and simple enough to make, with just a little more pizazz than regular vanilla cupcakes. Make certain to check out our cupcake recipes for other holidays, too!
You can add some additional cuteness with these adorable printable bunny cupcake toppers! Print them out, cut them out, and then use a popsicle stick to put the toppers on the cupcakes.
Add the vanilla and lemon.
Bake in a greased cupcake tin for 20 minutes at 375. I prefer to use paper baking cups in the tin because they'll come out more easily.
Let cool.
To Assemble:
Frost cooled cupcakes with the tinted green frosting.
Before the frosting dries, sprinkle the toasted coconut on top to make a "bed" for the bunny.
Stick a toothpick through the bottom of the bunny, leaving about 1/2" sticking out of the bottom. Use this to stick the bunny so it will stay on it's bed in the cupcake.
