Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Yields: 24 Cupcakes
Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow or white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
2 containers Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting
Betty Crocker® pink, yellow, green, blue and red gel food coloring
5 large marshmallows
Betty Crocker® colored decorating sugars (pink, green, yellow and purple)

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place pink, green or yellow paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
2. Place small amount of frosting in each of 4 custard cups. Mix frosting with food colorings to desired colors. Frost cupcakes with pink, green, yellow and purple frosting.
3. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful white frosting on center of each cupcake for bunny head. To make ears, cut each large marshmallow crosswise into 5 pieces with kitchen scissors. Using scissors, cut through center of each marshmallow piece to within 1/4 inch of edge. Separate to look like bunny ears; press 1 side of cut edges into colored sugar, flattening slightly. Arrange on each of the white icing mounds as shown. Use sugar, sprinkles and confetti to make eyes, nose and whiskers as shown. Store loosely covered.
