Easter Bunny Cupcakes With Marshmallow Ears
This Easter cupcake design is not only easy but also incredibly creative. Start by following the instructions on your boxed cake mix, then pour the batter into cupcake liners and bake. While the cupcakes cool, make the bunny ears by cutting marshmallows and dipping them in pink sprinkles. Frost the cupcakes, roll them in shredded coconut, and then add the bunny ears, a pink M&M for the nose, and two mini chocolate chips for the eyes. It's a simple yet adorable way to create festive Easter treats!

Bunny Cupcakes With Fondant Bunny Ears
For these cupcakes, select your preferred colour of buttercream and pipe it using a 1M tip for a beautiful swirl effect. It's essential to prepare the bunny ears a day ahead to ensure they set properly; in humid environments, consider using gum paste instead of fondant for better results. You can easily find bunny ear-shaped cutters in stores to achieve this design effortlessly. Additionally, the mini flowers can be crafted using fondant, or you can use sprinkles for a quicker process. These cupcakes are not only pretty and classy but also sure to impress with their delightful Easter-themed design and delicious taste!
Grass Nest Cupcakes
Create cute Easter cupcakes with ease using this simple yet charming decorating idea! Just grab a grass tip and some chocolate eggs, and you're all set to transform your cupcakes into festive treats. Pipe the buttercream frosting using the grass tip to make it look like grass, then place the chocolate eggs on top for an adorable Easter touch. It's a fuss-free way!
Mini Egg Chocolate Cupcakes
These classic chocolate cupcakes, decorated with chocolate buttercream (you can also use chocolate ganache if you prefer) and topped with mini eggs, are a timeless delight. Rich with chocolate flavour, they are easy to make and absolutely delicious. Achieve a beautiful swirl using a 1M tip for an elegant finish. These cupcakes are perfect for Easter and will surely satisfy your chocolate cravings with every bite.
Easy Daisy Cupcakes
Daisy cupcakes are a delightful addition to any spring celebration, be it Easter, birthdays, or simply to brighten up your day! I'm excited to share this tutorial because I believe the hack is simply genius. By using just a marshmallow and an M&M, you can create the cutest daisy. Simple and so cute, right?
Chick Easter Cupcakes
In the below video, the baker demonstrates the upside-down frosting method. If you're not familiar with it, it's a clever technique where you apply the buttercream, flip the cupcake onto parchment or baking paper, freeze until the buttercream sets, and then remove it to reveal a beautifully and evenly frosted cupcake. You can then add any decorations you want, in this case fondant circles for the egg and the details for the chick 🐣.
Cotton Candy Nest Cupcakes
Here's another adorable idea for Easter cupcakes that requires only 3 ingredients! Can you believe it? In the video, the baker used store-bought cupcakes (though you can make yours at home if you prefer!), cotton candy to create nests, and Robin's egg candy. Just take a look at how cute and creative the final cupcakes turn out to be!
Cute Bunny Cupcakes
Check out these adorable bunny cupcakes! While they may seem a bit challenging to make, all you need is a grass tip to create the grass effect as a base. The bunny itself is made with icing, and you can typically find pre-made ones in stores. As for the flowers, they're made with fondant, but you can easily swap them out with sprinkles for a simpler option!
Bunny Butt Cupcakes
Here's another creative Easter cupcake idea that's both adorable and delicious! Using a Ferrero Rocher as the base, you'll not only get a cute bunny butt but also a delicious treat. The grass and tail decorations were made using "grass tips," which you can find here. And for the bunny itself, a 1M piping tip was used to achieve this texture. Remember, you can always be creative and use other tips, dip the bunny base in coconut shreds, or shredded white chocolate to achieve different textures.
Pink Easter Cupcakes
Take a look at this adorable and straightforward cupcake design! All you need to do is choose the cutest cupcake liners, frost them with your favourite buttercream colour, and then add chocolate eggs and sprinkles on top. It's as easy as that! I did my little Amazon research for you and found these liners to be super cute!
Chocolate Nest Cupcakes
Remember the grass tip we’ve been mentioning over and over again in this article? Guess what? You can use that very same tip to create this adorable nest! If you have a small round tip, you can also achieve a similar effect (though it might take a bit more time). Simply add chocolate eggs and fondant flowers for a quick and easy Easter-themed treat!
Bunny Bum Cupcakes
Here's another fun way to create bunny bum cupcakes! I absolutely love the clever trick of using an aluminum foil ball to shape the cupcake. For this design, the cupcakes are covered with shredded white chocolate, and you don't need a piping tip; just a piping bag or even a ziplock bag works perfectly. The feet are made with cut pieces of marshmallow, the details are done with pink candy melts, and the tail is simply a mini marshmallow. It's a simple yet adorable idea, don’t you think?
Easter Chick Cupcakes
These buttercream Easter chick cupcakes are absolutely charming! Start by dipping the first layer of buttercream in an Easter sprinkle mix for a festive touch. Then, using a 1A piping tip, pipe the chick onto the cupcake, remembering that the base should be larger than the head. Get creative and add any additional details you like to make your chick cupcakes even more adorable!
And that wraps it up for now! These, in my opinion, are some of the cutest and easiest cupcakes you can whip up for Easter. From chocolate delights to adorable bunny and chick designs, there's something for everyone. Best of all, these cupcakes are beginner-friendly, budget-friendly, and make for the perfect Easter project to enjoy with your kids. Get ready to add a sprinkle of joy to your festivities with these delightful treats! And as always…
See you soon and happy baking!
