Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the box cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill each about two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
  3. Allow cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. Mix frosting with pink food coloring to achieve your desired pastel shade.
  5. Frost each cooled cupcake with the pink frosting, aiming for a smooth and swirled appearance.
  6. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the frosted cupcakes to create a 'snow' effect.
  7. Cut mini marshmallows diagonally to form bunny ears and secure them on the cupcakes with toothpicks.
  8. Place jelly beans in the center of each cupcake to serve as the bunny's nose.
