Usually for easter my mum makes a chocolately cake for the rest of the family, and I have something allergy friendly. But this year I thought I would make something a bit cute and different!
So here are my allergy friendly Easter Bunny Cupcakes!
What you will need:
12 cupcakes
Buttercream Icing
Skittles
Marshmallows
Pink Sugar
Shredded Coconut
BUTTERCREAM ICING
Mix Icing Sugar and Dairy Free butter until it forms an icing consistency. Add food colouring/flavouring if desired (not necessary)
PINK SUGAR
Mix some white sugar with a little bit of pink food colouring until the sugar becomes pink. Only add a drop at a time, as you do not want the sugar to be too wet.
CUPCAKES
See my recipe for allergy friendly cupcakes from last year. http://theeczemaexperience.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/recipe-time.html
TO ASSEMBLE THE BUNNIES!
1) Ice the cupcakes with the buttercream (Make sure you have a little bit of icing left over for attaching the other ingredients!)
2) Dip cupcakes into a shallow bowl of coconut until the icing on top of the cupcakes is covered.
3) Cut the marshmallows in half and dip into the pink sugar.
3) Attach the marshmallows to the top of the cupcakes using some icing to form ears.
4) Take two skittles per cupcake and attach to the cake with icing as the eyes
5) Tear off a corner of a marshmallow and shape into a ball for the nose. Attach to cupcake.
Don[t forget to refrigerate them as they can melt and the face can fall off them!
Have fun and share your photos!
