Easter Cupcakes with homemade buttercream frosting, an easy Easter dessert to make with kids and decorate your Easter Dinner table or buffet!

These "naughty" garden bunnies are a fun Easter cupcake idea...

And Here Is The Best Part

1. Bake or No-bake- your choice! Assemble with pre-made unfrosted cupcakes and frosting at your local grocery store, just ask in the bakery! I bought mine at Albertsons.
2. Frost with vanilla buttercream frosting - again, make your own with this easy recipe or buy at the store, and add cute decorations from the craft store or online.
3. Everything you need is at the store, and kids, even the little ones, can help you assemble and decorate these easy Easter cupcakes.

What You Need

• 12 baked vanilla cupcakes
• 1 ½ cups softened butter
• 2 ½ cups powder sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• ½ cup milk
• Decorations: Wilton Bunny Feet Decorations and Wilton Cupcake Wraps and Chocolate Carrots candies.

Let's Put Them Together

1. Buy plain vanilla cupcakes from the bakery, bake them at home from scratch or boxed cake mix.
   
2. Make the buttercream frosting: In a stand mixer using wire beaters, or using a handheld mixer combine butter, powder sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until a nice smooth consistency, add a bit more milk or powder sugar as needed.
   
3. Use a small offset spatula to frost each cupcake on top, or pipe on cupcakes using a pastry bag.
   
4. Pour white sprinkles in a small dish, and dip and roll the top of the cupcake to coat with sprinkles.
   
5. Use more frosting a "glue" to stick on feet and tail.
   
6. Wrap Wilton each cupcake with a white picket fence cupcake wrapper. Serve on a tray with Easter candies or decorations.
