Equipment

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

¾ Cup(s) softened butter
3 eggs
2 ½ Cup(s) flour
2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ¾ Cup(s) sugar
1 ½ Cup(s) milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp grated lemon rind

For the Frosting:

1 tub pre-prepared vanilla frosting any brand
5-10 drops of green food coloring

Add-ons:

Shredded Coconut toasted in an 200 degree oven for 5 minutes watch carefully!
Bunny "Peeps" Candy

Instructions

Cupcakes:
Cream the sugar and butter together until light and frothy, then add in eggs.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Add the flour mixture and the milk in alternating batches (about 1/2 cup of each at a time).
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.
Frosting:
Mix frosting in a small bowl with the green food coloring until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
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 its bed in the cupcake.
