Description
Alright, this is my very first time using fondant and sculpting a cake. The bottom layer is devil's food cake with a rich chocolate buttercream. The bunny is composed of yellow cake, vanilla buttercream and rice krispies. The letters are cut out of fondant, as well as the bunny's eye patch and facial features. The carrots are little cake balls made from the scraps of the devil's food cake.
It took about 2 1/2 days to create the cake, working on and off throughout the day. There were some lesson's learned from working with all these materials. The bunny's tail didn't want to stay on till the very end so it was tacked up with some toothpicks.
We were having a big bbq so naturally the large bunny cake (18" x 16") was the dessert. Thankfully it disapeared fairly quick (there is only so much cake I can eat). I personally loved the chocolate layer. However, the bunny and carrot cake balls were the crowd favorites!
