Once your cupcakes are cool, it’s time to make the buttercream. First, beat your butter until really pale and soft. This should take around 5 minutes. Be patient at this stage, it feels like forever, but I promise it’s worth the wait! This beating gives you a really light buttercream that is just heavenly and fluffy. Add in your icing sugar, then mix slowly to avoid a sugar cloud. Add in your vanilla and as much milk as you need to make it a smooth, spreadable mixture, then beat on high for a couple of minutes until fluffy and beautiful.

I could eat the whole giant bag in one sitting…which is one of the reasons I stuffed them into my cupcakes. And it was perfection….topped with a bunny. To decorate, you simply cut the head off a bunny Peep (it sounds a little harsh, I know, but you can make everything right in the world if you eat the rest because we don’t like to waste things…that’s what I did) and then pipe the buttercream “grass” all around the bunny using aWilton #233 tip. Decorate with Easter egg sprinkles or just leave as is. My kids loved these and couldn’t wait to dig in. I just think they’re super cute and are now my NEWfirst sign of spring.

Buttercream: Once again, any flavor buttercream would work. I’m using my vanilla easy Swiss Meringue Buttercream (recipe below), but if you prefer Italian Meringue or American Buttercream– go for it! I wouldn’t recommend a softer buttercream (such as Ermine Buttercream or French Buttercream) as these won’t be stable enough to support the cake layers. This cake is fantastic as an Easter dessert, or just as a celebration cake for any day -- it would make a great birthday cake! Anytime you want to enjoy the yummy sweetness of Cadbury mini eggs.
