Step-by-Step Instructions for Pastel Bunny Cupcakes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your cupcake pans with colorful liners.
  2. Cream together softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time.
  3. Gradually pour in the milk and any chosen flavor add-ins, mixing until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Fold into the wet mixture until just incorporated.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter and bake for 18-20 minutes.
  6. Allow the cupcakes to cool for about 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare the frosting by creaming together softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar. Add milk until smooth.
  8. Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost each cupcake and decorate with sprinkles, chocolate bunny toppers, and coconut shavings.
