Step 1

Step 2
For each arm, cut a strip of white fondant, 1/4 x 1 in. long using craft knife and ruler. For each hand, shape a 1/4 in. ball of white fondant; flatten and shape into hands using your fingers. Attach hands to arms using a damp brush. Let dry on cornstarch-dusted surface for at least 1 hour.
Step 3
Draw inside ears, nose and pads of feet using pink FoodWriter Edible Color Marker. Draw eyes and mouth using black FoodWriter Edible Color Marker.
Step 4
Bake cupcakes in Bunnies and Chicks or Easter Themed Standard Baking Cups and cool completely on Cooling Grid.
Step 5
Prepare the Buttercream Icing recipe. Tint the icing using a small amount of Kelly Green Icing Color. Using Kelly Green buttercream icing, cover the cupcake tops with tip 233 pull-out grass.
Step 6
Insert the head in cupcake top. Position a jelly bean to support head. Insert arms and feet in cupcake top, trimming with craft knife if needed.
