Easter Bunny Poop Cupcakes

My five-year old son, with his most serious face, asked me if we could make “Bunny Poop Cupcakes.” I laughed out loud! “Bunny Poop cupcakes?” Being a mother of two little boys, it didn’t surprise me. My first thought was “Uh…no!” But, then I how simple and funny it could be to grant his wish. This is a foreshadowing of my imminent future- “shooting bunnies” a.k.a. passing gas followed by giggles, denial and finger pointing!

To make them quickly, I used canned green icing with the star tip to make the grass and topped them with black licorice Jelly Belly jelly beans.

You could substitute chocolate covered raisins but, they are not shaped as nicely as jelly beans. I carefully made sure the Jelly Belly stamp was not visible. Decorating them was super easy!

Why Make Bunny Poop Cupcakes?

Moms take note: These cupcakes are cute, fun to make with your kids, and super easy!

These cupcakes would be a funny dessert to have on your Easter dessert table because they look funny and are very edible! They would also be great to take to preschool Easter parties, Easter Egg Hunts or even to the office for a good chuckle. It’s always nice to have a unique dessert to bring to parties.

How to Make Bunny Poop Cupcakes

1. First, make the cupcakes. Of course you can use any cake recipe or box mix you like. I used my own from scratch carrot cake recipe which is at the bottom of this post.

2. After the cupcakes have cooled,  attach the star tip to the icing can per the can’s directions. Push on the white tip to release the icing in a straight upright fashion so the icing looks similar to grass.

3. Next, add the black jelly beans in one pile and be careful not to show the Jelly Belly stamp, if you are using Jelly Belly.

4. Then, wrap the cupcakes in pink, yellow and orange colored tissue paper to hide the paper liners and give it a colorful, upscale spring look.

That’s it! Simple and funny!

Substitutions:

• Use chocolate covered raisins instead of black jelly beans
• Use brightly colored cupcake liners instead of wrapping the cupcakes in tissue paper.

Easter Bunny Poop Cupcakes are a simple and unique Easter dessert that will give your guests a chuckle!
