Bunny Chick Spring Cupcakes (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Core Ingredients

01 - 1 batch of fluffy vanilla frosting (homemade or store-bought)
02 - 1 batch of vanilla cupcakes (your go-to recipe or a boxed mix)

→ Decorating Supplies

03 - Mini and large marshmallows
04 - Black decorating gel
05 - Pink sanding sugar
06 - Yellow food dye for coloring frosting
07 - Jelly beans (use pink for noses)
08 - Sprinkles in white and yellow
09 - Orange candies like gumdrops or M&Ms (for beaks)

# Instructions:

01 - Follow your chosen recipe or boxed mix instructions to make vanilla cupcakes. Let them cool off completely before moving on to decorating.
02 - Prepare frosting from your recipe or have store-bought frosting ready to use. For chick designs, stir in yellow food color to half the frosting to dye it.
03 - Scoop 3-4 tablespoons of white frosting onto each cupcake and smooth it out into a dome for the bunny's face.
04 - Slice large marshmallows diagonally and dip the sticky part into pink sanding sugar. Use lightly greased scissors to keep them from sticking while cutting.
05 - Push the sugar-dipped ears into the frosting at the top, with pink sides turned inward.
06 - Coat the frosted area with white sprinkles to give the bunny a furry look.
07 - For cheeks, slice mini marshmallows in half and place them close to the cupcake's bottom. Add a pink jelly bean for the nose, and draw tiny black eyes right above it with decorating gel.
08 - With a piping bag and a large round tip, swirl yellow frosting over the cupcake tops.
09 - Sprinkle the frosting with yellow sprinkles for a fluffy feather effect. Add a light dusting of yellow sanding sugar for shine.
10 - Put an orange candy near the center as the beak, and use black decorating gel to add two tiny eyes just above it.
11 - Show off your Easter-themed cupcakes and serve, or keep them fresh in an airtight container until it's time to enjoy.

# Notes:

01 - Pre-made frosting and cake mixes are great for speeding things up.
02 - Whip store-bought frosting in a mixer to make it fluffier.
03 - You can prepare these cupcakes a day earlier and seal in an airtight container.
04 - More tips and suggestions can be found in the original post.
