    I wanted to make something special for Easter – something besides the regular stuff I do – and I found a picture of very cute looking cupcakes I instantly wanted to make. The cupcakes and buttercream is a standard recipe and easy to make. The decoration is… well… a little bit tricky ;) But with some time and a steady hand you can do that too. Happy Easter folks!

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

    2. In a large bowl mix sugar and melted butter. Add egg whites, yogurt, milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly mix dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until no lumps remain. Batter will be quite thick.

    3. Divide batter among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool on a cooling rack.

    4. For the frosting, beat softened butter on high speed until smooth and creamy. Add confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream and green food color (go easy on the color and add slowly more until you get the intensity of the color you want). Beat on high speed for 3-4 minutes. Add more powdered sugar if frosting is too thin or more cream if mixture is too thick.

    5. For the decoration I used the black fondant for the bunny body and feet, the white fondant for the bunny tail. Color some white fondant with pink to make the marks on the feet (I used a heart shaped fondant cutter and a small piping tip). For the flowers color the fondant yellow and cut out two sizes of flowers. Pipe a swirl of green frosting on each cupcake and place the bunnies and flowers on top.

    1. Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Muffinblech mit 12 Papierförmchen bestücken. In einer mittelgroßen Schüssel das Mehl, Backpulver, Natron und Salz vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel Zucker und geschmolzene Butter verrühren. Eiweiß, Joghurt, Milch und Vanille Extrakt zugeben und gut verrühren. Nach und nach Mehl Mix zugeben und verrühren. Der Teig wird recht kompakt.

    3. Teig auf die Fröschen verteilen und für 18-20 Minuten backen – mit einem Zahnstocher testen, ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und erst herausnehmen, wenn der Zahnstocher sauber herauskommt. Auf einem Kuchengitter auskühlen lassen.

    4. Für das Frosting die Butter aufschlagen. Puderzucker, Vanille Extrakt, Sahne und grüne Lebensmittelfarbe (Farbe tröpfchenweise zugeben, bis die gewünschte Farbe zustande gekommen ist) zugeben und alles auf höchster Stufe für 3-4 Minuten aufschlagen. Mehr Puderzucker zugeben, wenn das Frosting zu flüssig ist – mehr Sahne zugeben, wenn es zu fest ist.

    5. Das schwarze Fondant für die Hasenkörper und Füße verwenden. Das weiße Fondant für den Schwanz. Für die Markierungen an den Füßen etwas weißes Fondant mit Pink einfärben und Formen ausstechen (zB mit einem Herzförmigen Fondant Cutter und einer kleinen runden Spritztülle). Für die Blumen das Fondant gelb färben und zwei Größen ausstechen. Auf jeden Cupcake die Grundlage in Grün aufspritzen und darauf dann Hase und Blumen arrangieren.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
