Easter Bunnies!

We spent our last Omaha Easter with family in town. I always bring something sweet and try to make my creation very kid friendly for the three year old twins. This year, I decided to do my take on the Easter bunny cupcake. I made everything from scratch. They looked cute, but tasted terrible! So, I will share pictures and also the links to recipes that I would stay away from!

[my supplies, clockwise: sweethearts pink only, kissables brown only, dentyne gum cut in half (couldn't find chiclets!), chocolate twizzlers sliced]

[Finished product. For the ears, I sliced marshmallows in half, then sliced five wedges from each half. I then coated the sticky side with pink sugar crystals, put toothpicks in one end and stuck it in the cupcake]

[I found the gum horribly affected the taste of the cupcake, so I opted NOT to add them on most, mostly for the sake of keeping the kids from eating it. I thought they were actually cuter without the teeth!]

And here are the recipes I would recommend staying away from: Four Egg Yellow Cake & Buttercream Frosting. I consider myself a pretty good baker and yet, I clearly did something wrong. Let me know if you have any great cake or frosting recipes! I am always searching for yummy 'from-scratch' recipes!

[And this is why I do it!]
