Easter Bunny Cupcake

Well its about time I got around to posting this tutorial and in time for your Easter treats. With so much going on all the time, I had to make the time to share this with you. Its really simple and so cute to make with your little helpers.

Please view my previous post Easter cupcake toppers

to clarify the supplies needed for this project.

So lets get started

This is what you will need:

 

Gumpaste white & colours

Edible glue

Edible ink marker pen

Cocktail stick

Paintbrush

Modelling tools

Step 1

For the bunny bottom and tail - roll 1/2 teaspoon full size of white gumpaste into a smooth ball and then a half a pea size of white gumpaste into another ball for the tail. Use you modelling tool or a cocktail stick to prick the tail to make it seem fluffly and stick this on the bunny's bottom using edible glue.

Step 2

Bunny paws - roll 2 x pea size white gumpaste into balls and 2 x tiny pink gumpaste into balls. Firstly flatten the white and shape into foot shape with a narrow top and wider bottom. Then roll the pink into a slightly sausage shape and flatten, now stick this on the foot using edible glue and smooth down the edges with your modelling tool. Lastly use a knife to mark the paw.

Step 3

Sign board - Flatten or roll blue gumpaste, cut into a rectangular shape and round off the edges. Use a knife the make lines as for a wood grain effect. Use cocktail stick  to mark holes at corners to look like nails through the wood. Use a small amount of blue paste roll into a smooth ball. Brush the cocktail stick lightly with glue then roll blue paste onto stick, leave a free edge at bottom. You can flatten the top slightly so it sticks well on the board.

Step 4

Carrots - Roll orange gumpaste in pea size balls then form them into cone shapes with a flat top. Mark them with a knife to look lifelike. Roll and cut green paste into triangles, then snip off the point at the bottom slit tops to form leaves. Stick this on top of carrot with glue.

Leave all pieces to dry over night. Then you can write a message on the board using an edible marker pen.

Build your cupcake. Fill an icing bag with green icing and a grass tip nozzle. Hold bag at a 90' angle and place nozzle on cupcake, squeeze and lift up this creates the grass effect. Add your bunny and other elements. I also added small egg shaped sweets to finish the look.

Happy Easter
