Bunny Cupcakes

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Preheat oven to 180C conventional or 160Oc fan-forced. Line 12 x 1/3 cup capacity muffin tin with cupcake patties.

Step 2

Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl. Add the sugars and stir to combine.

Step 3

Add the egg, milk, oil and vanilla and beat until combined. Add the boiling water and mix until just combined.

Step 4

Pour the batter into each patty case until 3/4 full.

Step 5

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until cake skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool.

Step 6

TO MAKE BUTTER CREAM ICING: Beat butter with icing sugar using an electric mixer and light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla essence and milk until smooth, adding extra milk or icing sugar if necessary.

Step 7

To make ears, pour sprinkles onto a small plate. Using scissors, cut each marshmallow diagonally in half. Press the cut side of the marshmallow half into the sprinkles.

Step 8

To decorate, pipe or spoon a generous amount of butter cream onto each cupcake. Reserve 1/4 cup of icing. Place coconut on a plate and gently press the cupcake (buttercream side down) into the shredded coconut until completely covered. Using the remaining icing, apply a small amount to each ear to fix into place.
