To make ears, using scissors, cut each large marshmallow crosswise into 5 slices; cut each slice in half to within 1/4-inch (6 mm) of edge. Separate to look like bunny ears; press 1 side of cut edges into pink sugar, flattening slightly. Arrange on each of the white frosting mounds and use miniature candy balls for eyes and nose and chocolate sprinkles for whiskers.

Tip: To make Easter Chick Cupcakes: Frost cupcakes with white frosting. Stir drops of yellow food colouring into second tub of frosting. Spoon 1 heaping spoonful of yellow frosting on centre of each cupcake. Decorate with orange jellybean for nose and orange miniature candy balls for eyes.
