Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The frosting
Draw a puffy cloud shape with a bump on each side and a rounded top, but leave a small gap at the very top. Close the bottom with a wavy line that dips down in the middle, like a gentle ocean wave.
Step 3: The cupcake wrapper
Start at each end of the wavy line and draw two lines slanting down and slightly inward. Join them at the bottom with a gently curved line, so the cup looks like a little bucket with rounded corners.
Step 4: The top puff
In the gap at the top of the frosting, draw a small oval, like a tiny cotton ball. Its sides touch the frosting lines so the top is closed.
Step 5: The bunny ears
Draw two long, skinny loops that lean away from each other, like a V. Start each ear at the top of the little puff and curve it up and out.
Step 6: The sweet face
Draw two round dots for eyes, set wide apart in the middle of the frosting. Between them, a little lower, draw a tiny smile made of two small bumps.
Step 7: The wrapper stripes
Draw two short, straight lines on the cup, one on each side. Tilt them just a little so they follow the slant of the cup.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing an Easter cupcake
- Draw the frosting as a cloud shape and keep the bumps on the left and right sides about the same size so it looks balanced.
- Leave a small gap at the top of the frosting, then fill it with the little oval puff.
- Make the two bunny ears lean outward like a V, starting from the top of the puff so they look attached.
- Place the eyes wide apart and the smile small and low between them. Tiny features look extra cute on a big round face.
