Sweet Bunnies! Easter Cake Video Tutorial

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to create an adorable bunny cake topper for Easter. Not only will you learn how to make this cute and simple cake topper, but we'll also show you how to create a lovely picket fence design around the sides.

This cake would be perfect for Easter gatherings, or you can remove the Easter Egg and make a change here and there for an adorable spring birthday or baby shower cake. I love cute bunnies on cakes no matter what time of year! :0) 

We hope that you enjoy the video!

Materials:

Our cake in this video is an 8 inch tier, frosted with our fluffy vanilla buttercream recipe (tinted with Americolor Avocado Green + a touch of Leaf Green). As usual, it is on it's own cardboard cake circle cut down to size. 

Template for Gate

Piping Tips: Grass Tip 233, Tip 2, 3, 4 (any of the small tips are fine for the small flowers), 

Coloring Gel Pen (We used a black food writer pen for the eyes)

Coloring Gels: Americolor Avocado Green, Leaf Green, Deep Pink, Lemon Yellow, Sky Blue

Gum Paste for bunnies (if you don't have gum paste, you can also knead tylose powder into fondant for a similar result) - We used about 160 g.

Fondant for picket fence (approximately 150g)

Toothpick/Floral wire/ Lollipop Sticks- (We used toothpicks) - Use your anchors of choice

Pink Petal Dust (optional) for rosy cheeks & ears

Vodka or everclear to create "paint" for the egg

Rice Cereal Treats (for the egg) - We used four 22g. bars

small flower cutters (for flowers on hat- optional)

sugar pearls (optional) - used as flower centers on hat

Miscellaneous- Small paint brushes, piping gel (or your food-safe adhesive of choice)

I used an FMM Multi-Ribbon Cutter (affiliate) to cut my fondant strips for the fence--I use this tool often for creating bows or stripes also!
