Step 8 Starting at the outer edge, pipe short bursts of buttercream to create a grass effect all the way around the cupcake. I like to gently pull the buttercream upwards and slightly outward so it drapes softly over the cupcake case. Top Tip: If your buttercream is too stiff, the grass won’ t fall naturally. Adjust consistency if needed for the best texture.
Step 9 Once the outer ring is complete, fill in the centre of the cupcake until the entire surface is covered.
Step 10 Using a spoon, gently scatter Easter-themed sprinkles over the buttercream. Less is often more- allow the grass texture to remain visible.
Step 11 Insert the remaining two bunny ears into the centre of the cupcake.
