I wanted to squeeze in one final Easter treat for those pending parties. These cupcakes are based on a picture I saw on Pinterest last year. Sorry I can’t remember the source. These bunny and carrot cupcakes are adorable and will hop right off the table!

Prepare your favorite cupcake recipe, either from scratch or from the box.

Let's start with the carrot cupcakes.
You will need:
Orange M&M’s or orange reece pieces.
Green M&M’s
White Icing

After you have iced your cupcakes with the white icing, insert the orange candy pieces sideways into a pyramid shape. The first line should be 3 candies, then two and then one. Put two green M&M’s on top to look like leaves. It is as easy as that! Of course now there needs to be some bunnies to go along with these carrots

For the bunnies you will need:
24 marshmallows
Pink M&M’S
Black icing
Pink sanding sugar

To start, cut your marshmallows in half. Dip the sticky side in the sanding sugar. Press down and roll it around to make sure that side gets covered with that sugar. Once the bunnies have been iced (and please excuse the picture- I didn’t realize how thin my white icing was until it was tool ate) place the marshmallows at the top to resemble ears. You will need to do this step pretty quickly after you have iced the cupcakes. Once the icing has dried it makes it difficult to attach the ears.
Next, place a pink candy in the middle for the nose.
Using your black icing, pipe on eyes and whiskers. And then you will have bunny cupcakes to go along with those carrots! 

**Tips- If the marshmallows seem too thick, just cut them in thirds 
Use store bought black icing. It is very difficult to get a black icing at home.
I used pink sanding sugar, but feel free to mix it up. Try yellow, blue and purple to add a   little more character!
