Cute Cottontail Cupcakes, so easy and fun for Spring and Easter!

These just take minutes, and a few things from the craft store.

Buy or bake your own vanilla cupcakes, then frost with vanilla buttercream frosting, and decorations.

These cupcakes make me smile. I used to have pet bunnies, Forrest the “escape artist” and Cheeseball the “pizza begging bunny”.  They were both quite mischievous!
