The Story of Two Easter Bunnies and the Lost Carrot

Print

Easter is a special time in our family and it's something that the kids look forward to every year. I try to make it as fun as possible. Usually there is a story attached to the things that we do. This year's story was about two bunny brothers that lost their Easter carrot. The two bunnies found their carrot on top of the kids' Easter cupcake :)

Ingredients

For cupcakes:
  • 1 box Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Spice Cake Mix
  • 1 cup raisins (I like to soak them in warm water for 5 minutes)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • _______________
Decorating:
  • Marzipan carrots or carrot soft candies
  • Bunny candies
  • 1 Tub of Duncan Hines Home style Cream Cheese Frosting

Directions

  1. Follow instructions on Duncan Hines Box and then once that is done add raisins and walnuts
  2. Using a ice cream scoop (for even cupcakes), scoop the mix into the cupcake forms.
  3. Bake for 20 mins.
  4. Let it cool.
  5. Now the super fun part begins DECORATION. Using a piping bag go around the cupcake and that leaves a nice finish to it. The first try might not come out great, but by the time you make it to the 24th cupcake you will be a pro.
  6. A tip that I can give you is not to put too much frosting, put a little in the bag that way it is easy to manoeuvre.
