Spring cupcakes are so fun to make. I love quick and easy Easter desserts. These Easter cupcakes are just that! With a few baking supplies, you can decorate cupcakes for your spring or Easter celebrations.

I decorated half the cupcakes frosted and topped them with chocolate bunnies. And half frosted with a rose shape and sprinkles, which are great for other spring celebrations or even to use as Mother’s Day cupcakes!

• Where to buy funfetti cupcakes? Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix (for spring) (or get it here)
• Pillsbury Funfetti Frosting (spring)
• 3 Eggs
• 1/2 cup of Vegetable Oil
• 1 cup of Water
• Hershey’s Mini Milk Chocolate Bunnies 1 bag
  or grab multiple bags Hersey’s Mini Chocolate Bunnies

Or grab a cute Easter decorating kit like this or use Easter cupcake toppers like this with bunnies, carrots, and flowers. To add cupcake decorating options.

If you are decorating the cupcakes for Mother’s Day or other spring celebrations replace the bunnies with chocolate flowers, edible butterflies, or other cupcake decorations.

Helpful tools to own for baking

Mixing bowls, measuring cups, mixing spoon, or hand mixer (this is the one I own). I also like using scoops like this for adding the cupcake batter into the cupcakes. Wilton’s Dessert Decorator Plus (my secret weapon for decorating cupcakes)

Directions

1. Get out your supplies.
2. Pre heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
3. Line your cupcake pan and set it to the side until needed.

How To Make Pillsbury Funfetti Cupcakes

First, make and bake the cupcakes!

1. Add the boxed mix to the bowl.
2. Next add the measured oil and water.
3. Crack and add 3 eggs.
4. Mix for 2 minutes by hand or mixer until well blended.
5. Scoop into the lined cupcake pan.
6. When done add the cupcakes into the oven to bake (according to the package about 10-15 minutes). In my oven it took about 12 minutes.
7. Remove them from the oven. Test the cupcakes with a toothpick to make sure they are done.
8. Let them cool compeletly.

Easy Way To Frost Cupcakes!

How to frost funfetti cupcakes?

1. Use the star tip (which will make the rose shape).
2. Add the pre-made frosting into the Wilton Decorator Plus (or your pastry frosting bags).
3. Start decorating the cupcakes from the outer edge going in and finish at the center by stopping pressure and lifting up. Or do the opposite as demonstrated in my video.
4. This Pillsbury’s frosting was perfect to use with the cupcake decorating tool. It was soft and not stiff. If you have a stiffer pre-made frosting add it to a mixing bowl, add 1/4 cup up to 1/2 cup of butter and mix until softened. Start with the lesser amount and adjust as needed.
5. Next, add the sprinkles. Then unwrap and add the chocolate bunnies right before serving.

If you pre-make the cupcakes store them in a cupcake storage container like this until you are ready to plate and serve the cupcakes. Keep in a cool place! Add the chocolate bunny candies before serving.

These funfetti cupcakes are moist and delicious!

I am not going to lie sometimes it’s just easier to whip up a cupcakes mix and use pre-made frosting to use for dessert. I know my family and grandkids love them just as much as my homemade cupcakes and other goodies. But, if you want to make them from scratch try this homemade funfetti cupcakes recipe. You can still use our tips for decorating them. Wink, wink.
