Fluffy éclair-style buns topped with glossy pink icing, desiccated coconut, and rainbow sprinkles—these nostalgic treats bring a playful twist to traditional finger buns.

Ingredients

Scale

For the éclair buns:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 large eggs

For the pink glaze:

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring

Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
  • 2 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine butter and water. Bring to a boil.
  3. Add flour all at once, stirring vigorously until mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time until the dough is smooth and glossy.
  5. Transfer dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe 4-inch long strips onto the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and a few drops of pink food coloring until smooth and pourable.
  8. Dip the tops of each cooled éclair into the pink glaze.
  9. Immediately sprinkle with coconut and rainbow sprinkles before the glaze sets.
  10. Let set at room temperature until the glaze firms up. Serve and enjoy!
