Happy Spring.
We were inspired to make these cute fluffy bunny cupcakes from a recipe we got from McCormick. They were really cute, but the heads were too complicated for our little ones to help with. Our 5 year old, Jonah said, "Just use peeps!" What a brilliant idea! They whip up in a snap and all the kids can help.
What You Need:- mini cupcakes
- bunny peeps
- vanilla frosting (we put ours in plastic bags with the tip cut off to make frosting easier) tinted to match the peeps
- shredded coconut tinted to match the peeps
- mini marshmallows for the tails
First we frosted out cupcakes
Then we (ouch!) cut the heads off our bunnies. We left them a little neck. The kids were happy to eat the bunny bottoms!
Then we dipped them in their matching coconut.
We glued the heads on with a blob of icing. 
Then we "glued" the tail on with icing.
Now our fluffy friends are ready to eat!
We also recommend saving a few peeps out to cook in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Let the kids watch them grow 2 or 3 times there normal size. Then watch them eat up the warm gooey bunnies!

These are so stinkin' cute! I just found your blog through Fingerprints on the Fridge. Hahaha I did know that peeps like to grow in the microwave... we put two peeps armed with toothpicks stuck in their centers... set them on a plate and put them in the microwave... makes them look like they are having a duel. Fun stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend.

These are too cute! Very good idea to cut them in half! Thanks for sharing at Fun to Craft's Spring has Sprung Party.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that's just cruel. To dieters. :-) But, I'll probably just make them anyway. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable... love yours more than the inspiration as well. We made some and dipped the tops into green sugar sprinkles and then put our bunnies on top so it looked like they were sitting in the grass! Thanks for sharing!!!
