What You Will Love About These Carrot Cake Donuts
Certainly you have seen these cute bunny bottom cupcakes on Pinterest and social media. I am spinning this a bit and turning this cute idea into Carrot Cake Bunny Bottom Donuts.
Let me talk to you about what is special about these little Bunny Beauties.
The carrot cake donuts are light and fluffy. I have simply fancied up a simple yellow cake mix that is super easy to toss together. The real magic is in the cottontails. Instead of dipping a marshmallow into icing and giving them a roll in coconut flakes, I used Raffello’s. UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS!
