  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2/3 cup water

  • 1/2 tsp salt

For theGlaze:

  • 10 tbsp unsalted, softened butter
  • 5 cups powdered sugar
  • Marshmallow Fluff
  • 1 pinch of salt

Proper preparation

The Vanilla Cupcakes:

  1. Preheat oven to 175 degrees. Fill two baking tins for 12 muffins each with muffin paper. To prevent the muffins from sticking if they overflow from the tin, grease the tin additionally. Set aside on baking paper.
  2. Mix butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Scrape the sides occasionally. Gradually add eggs and egg yolks. Also add milk, water and vanilla and continue stirring.
  3. Mix both types of flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour mixture in three parts to the butter mixture while stirring. Scrape the sides of the bowl every now and then and mix well with the rest. Stir for about 2 minutes.
  4. Spread the finished dough evenly in the prepared baking pan (approx. 3/4 full). Bake until golden brown, about 18 to 25 minutes, until the dough springs back when pressed. Let them cool and remove from the mold when they are no longer too hot to touch. Allow to cool completely.

The glaze:

  1. Combine milk and vanilla in a small bowl.
  2. In another medium bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer until fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Stir in the marshmallow fluff and salt at low speed. Add the milk-vanilla mixture. Stir on high for another 1-2 minutes.
  3. Use the glaze immediately.

Form Easter bunnies

  1. Spread the cupcakes with icing. Place a coconut ball on each one. Form ears out of the marshmallows and spread some icing on them. Cover with coconut flakes. Use the pretzel sticks to attach the “ears” to the coconut ball.
  2. Attach the eye candy under the ears using icing. Repeat the same with the nose. Form bunny teeth out of the mini marshmallows.
  3. Attach the lacquer line over the teeth to form the mouth. The fruit gum sticks form the whiskers by inserting them into the coconut ball.
