PREHEAT oven to 350°F.

Step 7
ROLL OUT pink fondant for bunny heads. Cut round shapes the same size as top of cupcake. Place fondant circles on top of cupcakes.
Step 8
MAKE AND ASSEMBLE bunny face
Step 9
Roll pink fondant into one oval shaped ball about 1/8" wide x 1/4" long.
Step 10
Use paintbrush to brush one side lightly with water and attach to center of cupcake. This will be the nose.
Step 11
Roll white fondant into two thin stips about 1/2" square. Place these teeth on the head, about 1/4" below nose.
Step 12
Roll pink fondant into two egg-shaped balls that will form the cheeks.
Step 13
Use a wooden toothpick or skewer to make the small indentions that give the cheeks dimension.
Step 14
Brush back-sides lightly with water and attach at 45 degree angles just below the nose and on top of the upper part of the teeth.
Step 15
For ears, roll out pink fondant and cut into slightly rounded, ear-shaped triangles. Bend their tops slightly forward to give them shape. Let dry.
Step 16
Brush water lightly on back of the bottom edge of ears to attach.
Step 17
Prepare piping bags with white and black frosting. If using a zipper bag, be sure to snip just a tiny corner off the bag so that the lines are delicate.
Step 18
Use white frosting to pipe two small circles for eyes and three straight lines on each side of the nose for whiskers.
Step 19
Pipe black icing onto centers of eyes and eyebrows.
