*Cute Bunny Cakes*

Mini-Bunny Cakes: Yellow cake with food coloring, sugar glaze coating decorated with gum drops, hard candy decorations (found in baking aisle) and green YoGos Rollers

Hoppy Easter! Now that there were more little ones in our family, I thought it would be fun to dress up this year's Easter dessert and have some fun with it. Besides, the chocolate covered bunny from last Easter (see Post-April 2008) was going to be very hard to top, so when all else fails, go cute! And to up the cuteness, I made each batch of bunny cakes different colors, just like Easter eggs! This added more fun to dessert because you couldn't tell what color your bunny was until you took the first bite. My family was convinced that the colors were also different flavors and I spent most of the evening trying to get them to understand that the color was not flavor related. My family is a riot!

The eyes and noses were those little round sugar decorations that you can get at the store in the baking aisle, ears were made from flattened gum drops (boy was that ever a sticky mess) and the "bow ties" were a striped fruit roll-up type snack. To get each bunny's refinements to stick, I drizzled a sugar glaze over each one. Funny thing was, after they got their sweet coating, they looked just like glazed donuts! They were the cutest bunny donuts we ever had for Easter!
