Carrot Cake Easter Bunny Cupcakes with free printable bunny ears. A fun dessert for your Easter celebrations.

Creating fun food for the holidays is one of my favorite things to do for my kids.  I love to see their cute faces as they inspect my food creations.  (Right before they devour them!) 🙂 Well Easter has become one of my favorite holidays to get crafty in the kitchen.  I mean how can you resist all those cute bunnies and chicks?!?!  A few years ago I made the most delicious carrot cake for our Easter dinner.  I decided to use the same recipe and make some special Easter cupcakes.  These carrot cake Easter bunny cupcakes were so fun to make!

I’m not gonna lie, they do take a little time, but they are very doable.  Especially since the printable bunny ears are provided.  I wanted to go with a homemade carrot cake recipe, but you could always use a boxed cake mix or make your favorite flavor cake.

I cut out my bunny ears while my cupcakes were baking and used a hot glue gun to add toothpicks on the back.

To frost the cupcakes, I used an ice cream scoop to put the frosting on top.  I wanted to have that rounded look to my Easter bunny cupcakes, but you can use a knife for frosting if you don’t have a scoop.  I just used my hands to cover the frosting with the shredded coconut.  Chocolate chips and mini marshmallows make the bunny come together.

    One thing I did find that I thought was a super cute addition, this edible Easter grass.  I cut a couple pieces and added them to the Easter bunny cupcakes for the bunny’s whiskers.
