Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Bunny Bum Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
  2. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  3. Gradually alternate adding the dry mixture and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, and fill the muffin tin two-thirds full.
  4. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Prepare the frosting by beating the butter and gradually adding powdered sugar, then heavy cream and vanilla until light and fluffy.
  6. Assemble bunny decorations using fondant or marshmallows, then frost and decorate the cooled cupcakes.
