Cute Bunny Cupcakes - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups white sugar
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1 1/3 cups buttermilk
    1/2 cup vegetable shortening
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    4 egg whites
    2 (16 ounce) packages vanilla frosting, divided
    sweetened flake coconut, or as needed
    1 drop red food coloring, or as needed
    12 whole graham cracker squares (4 cookies each)
    48 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 cupcake cups with paper liners.
    Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. Beat buttermilk, vegetable shortening, vanilla extract, and salt into dry ingredients until thoroughly combined; beat egg whites into batter. Pour batter into prepared cupcake cups, filing them 2/3 full.
    Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes are lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
    Divide a container of frosting in half and tint half pink with red food coloring; set remaining vanilla frosting aside. Use second frosting container to frost cupcakes. Cover cupcakes with coconut.
    Break graham crackers into individual cookies and cut each cookie carefully into a leaf shape pointed at both ends to make 48 ears. Cover each ear with remaining white frosting and frost the inside of each ear shape with pink frosting. Stick 2 ears into each cupcake. Push 2 mini chocolate chips into tops of cupcakes below ears to make eyes; add a dot of pink frosting to each for a nose.
