Either use a piping bag or spoon to place the frosting on top of the cupcake.
Place the coconut in a bowl, and dip the top of the cupcake into the coconut until the frosting is fully covered.
Cut 24 marshmallows at a diagonal with clean, sharp scissors. If the scissors get too sticky, wash them between cuts.
Place the sanding sugar in a small bowl. Dip the sticky side of the marshmallow into the sanding sugar. (You can pinch the marshmallows to push the centers down so that the edges pull away from the sugar to get a white ridge around the ear.)
Place the marshmallow halves on top of the bunny. If they aren’t sticking, you can apply additional frosting to help make them stick.
Cut the remaining marshmallows into 6 pieces. I cut them in half vertically, then each side got cut into thirds. Then I used my fingers to form it into a ball, trying to get the sticky parts on the outside of the ball. Roll the balls in the sanding sugar and apply it to the bunny's face.
Apply mini chocolate chips for the eyeballs. Using tweezers was really helpful for this!
