bunny cakes

So we made these little guys for Easter dinner and then we

...photographed them in their natural habitat. 

Obviously.

I found the idea for these cakes on Pinterest (see! I'm already getting my project/crafty-momma on!). 

They were super easy to make which was good news for me because I've never done anything like this before. 

Basically, if you can mix together a box cake mix, you can do this.

We used carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and coconut for the fur. 

Jelly bean eyes and noses and paper ears. 

For the brown bunny, we just dyed the frosting and coconut light brown with food coloring. 

You can find the instructions here. 

We were also planning on putting a tiny easter basket, carrot, or peeps on the cake stand, next to the white bunny. 

But that clearly never happened. 

Good intentions, though. 

And project/crafty baby steps.
