Adorable bunny and chick cupcakes that kids will love at any spring festivities.
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting
  • Red food color
  • Yellow food color
  • 2 bags (6 oz each) assorted flavor stretchy and tangy taffy candies (strawberry, grape and banana)
  • 6 large orange gumdrops
  • 48 purple candy-coated chocolate candies
  • 48 miniature chocolate chips
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pans) and line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups. Prepare cake mix as instructed on the box to make 24 cupcakes. After baking, let the cupcakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely, around 30 minutes.
  • Divide the frosting equally into 2 small bowls, approximately 1 1/4 cups in each. Add 7 drops of red food color to one bowl and yellow to the other.
  • Remove the paper liners from the cupcakes and place them upside down on a serving platter.
  • To make bunny cupcakes: Frost 12 cupcakes with pink frosting. Create bunny features using strawberry and grape taffy candies. Craft ears by stacking grape candy on top of pink candy and shaping into bunny ears if needed. Attach the ears firmly onto the cupcake. Slide strawberry taffy cutouts under the cupcake for feet. Mold a small taffy ball for the tail and press it onto the back of the cupcake. Add a small taffy nose. Apply chocolate candy onto the face and use frosting to position miniature chocolate chips as eyes.
  • For chick cupcakes: Frost 12 cupcakes with vibrant yellow frosting. Use banana taffy candies to create beaks and feet, and orange gumdrops for wings and comb. Press the gumdrops onto the cupcake and place the banana taffy under to form the feet. Add the beak and gently press miniature chocolate chips for eyes on the face.
