  • Heat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare 24 cupcakes according to package directions.
  • Bake 17 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Gradually stir drops of food colouring into 1 tub of frosting. Frost cupcakes with pink frosting. Spoon 1 heaping spoonful of white frosting on centre of each cupcake.
  • To make ears, using scissors, cut each large marshmallow crosswise into 5 slices; cut each slice in half to within 1/4-inch (6 mm) of edge. Separate to look like bunny ears; press 1 side of cut edges into pink sugar, flattening slightly. Arrange on each of the white frosting mounds and use miniature candy balls for eyes and nose and chocolate sprinkles for whiskers.
