Bunny Cup Cakes With Edible Ears?

What about candy corn - they have pink and other pastels this time of year.

Try cutting them from fruit rollups or fruit by the foot.

How about cutting them out of marshmallows?

I made bunny ears with large marshmallows. Cut the marshmallow in half, across the middle, cutting the tube in half. Make sure the flat ends are at each end intact. This will cause the marshmallow to pinch, creating an elongated oval, with pointy ends.

get a large cookie,any kind,and cut the sides off.Make sure they are the same size.VIOLA,put one on each side of the head...you can also cover these wit icing...

Try using the sticks from the gum packages. I've seen them in pastel colors as well as in the stripe colors. I'm sure they can be easily cut in the shape of a rabbit ear,. Have fun!

You can roll out gundrops flat by using a little extra sugar and then rolling them out on a sugar cutting board but I think fruit roll-ups or fruit leather is the best way to go. Or a licorice shoestring doubled up to form a sort of ear shape and both ends stuck into the cupcake .

What about using Marzipan? You could mold it into any shape you want, and you could use food coloring to make the ears a certain color, if you want the color. Marzipan is delicious, and it would be something so much out of the ordinary that everyone would think of it as a really special treat!

You could make them whimsical and use gummy worms cut in half....or just make a small batch of sugar cookies and shape them like ears.......or maybe candy corn, you can usually find them in easter colors now...or if they will be eaten soon you could use baby carrots......adds a little nutrition.....your idea sounds fun.....

I was thinking of cutting fruit leather or roll ups to look like your bunny ears, then frost with vanilla frosting and then roll in flaked coconut to make it more realistic looking. Happy Easter Everyone!

Try cutting a marshmallow in half, squeeze it into an oval shape and sprinkle pink decorators candy on the sticky part. Use frosting to attach them to the cupcake.

what about those candy wedges, you know the orange ones? Flatten them w/a rolling pin & that should make a nice ear!

On the Food Network Sandra Lee made bunny ears by carefully cutting chocolate chip cookies with a serrated knife. The instructions are on the website.

For those who are making cupcakes decorated like Easter bunnies, you can use the sticks from packages of gum to make edible ears. Just cut to shape like bunny ears and stick them into the frosting. I've seen the pastel colored gum sticks, and if you can find the striped colored sticks, they are quite festive and colorful.

Hi! Ive seen at the cake decorating store some leaf like cookie cutters and you could use them to make the ear for the rabbits with the white choclate thiers diffrent flavors of candie you could use. which works well..

I was thinking about doing the same thing the other day, and I thought about using this chocolate that I found called almond bark. It comes in white and brown chocolate, you melt it in the microwave or on stove top and then you put it on wax paper where it dries into any shape you make it, so if you are able to make them into a bunny ear shape and stick it on the cupcake it might work.

Large Marshmallow cut in half. Dip cut side in pink prinkles.
