Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy.

24 Bunny Peeps
Pipe a small dot of frosting in the middle of the cupcake and gently press on bunny head onto the frosting.
Using a “grass” tip, pipe the frosting all around the top of the cupcake to make it look as if the bunny is peaking out of tall grass.
