Easter Bunny Donut Ingredients

To make your bunny donuts you will need a few simple supplies.

I’ve linked to a few of the ones you may not find easily in baking aisle at the grocery store.

Frosting and Decorations for Bunnies

• 1 can vanilla frosting – canned frosting works best
• White Food Coloring, optional 
• Mini Marshmallows 
• Mini Chocolate Chips for eyes
• Pink Heart Sprinkle for nose
• White and Pink Nonpareil Sprinkles 

How to Decorate Donuts for Easter

Once your baked donuts have cooled, you will want to frost them and let them set. Then add the decorations below.

Add about ½ of the can of frosting to a microwave safe bowl and heat for about 30 seconds. Add white food coloring for a more vibrant frosting and mix well. The consistency needs to be runny but not too runny or hot. 

Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to catch the drips and dip donuts, one by one.

Turn doughnut upside down and dip top into the melted frosting and gently shake off excess.

Turn right side up and shake side-to-side to level frosting. Then, place on wire rack until firm.

Easter Chick Donut Ingredients

The frosting and decorations for chicks is similar to the bunnies only you will be using food coloring and icing rather than sprinkles.

You will need:

• 1 can vanilla frosting 
• Mini Chocolate Chips for eyes
• Yellow and Orange Food Coloring

Frosting and Decorations for Chicks

Use the same dipping process as for bunnies, but coloring the frosting yellow first.

Place on a wire rack and let the frosting set.

To decorate, add a small amount of white frosting into 3 bowls and color one with dark orange (for beak and feathers), then create 2 more shades of orange for feathers.

Add frosting to decorator bag fitted with a #4 tip for the feathers and #3 tip for the beak.

For the face, turn mini chocolate chip upside down and insert into doughnut for eyes and pipe on beak using dark orange frosting.

Pipe on feathers and set aside to dry.

So adorable!
