Prep time: 45 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Servings: 24

  • 1          2-layer size white cake mix
  • 1          tablespoon, plus 2 teaspoons, McCormick Pure Lemon Extract, divided
  • 1          tablespoon McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract 3/4       cup white chocolate chips
  • 2          sticks butter, softened 16        ounces confectioners’ sugar
  • 2          tablespoons milk
  • 10        drops McCormick Green Food Color
  • 1-2       drops McCormick Red Food Color
  • 12        large marshmallows, halved crosswise
  • 3          tablespoons white nonpareil sprinkles

1. Prepare cake mix as directed on package, adding 1 tablespoon lemon extract and vanilla. Spoon 3 tablespoons batter into 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake as directed on package for cupcakes. Cool cupcakes on wire rack.
2. To make bunny feet: In a medium, microwave-safe bowl, microwave white chocolate chips on high 30 seconds. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Spoon into a pastry bag or re-sealable plastic bag. Snip a small corner from bag. Pipe 24 pairs of bunny feet onto parchment or wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Use a toothpick to smooth out bumps or rough edges, and gently tap cookie sheet on counter to help settle. Allow hardening 2 minutes in the freezer or 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
3. To make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter and remaining lemon extract until light and fluffy. Gradually add confectioners’ sugar, beating well after each addition and scraping sides and bottom of bowl frequently. Add milk; beat until light and fluffy. Remove half the frosting and place in a medium bowl. Add green food color; mix until evenly blended. Spoon into a pastry bag fitted with grass decorating tip. Set aside. Remove half the remaining frosting into a small bowl. Add red food color; mix until light pink. Spoon into another pastry bag.
4.Using pink frosting, pipe three toes, and padding on each bunny foot. Once the frosting has set (about 1 hour) gently press down on pink frosting to create a smoother look.
5.To assemble cupcakes: Pipe green frosting onto each cupcake in a series of short motions to create individual grass spots. Cover top of each cupcake completely.
6. To make bunny butts: Place cut sides of marshmallow halves onto each frosted cupcake, leaving room for bunny feet. Shape remaining white frosting into dime-sized balls then roll with white sprinkles to cover. Pipe small drop of remaining pink or white frosting onto the top of each marshmallow. Press bunny tail on top.
7.Place both bunny feet against base of marshmallow with toes facing down.
