Description
All of us have done the "bunny ear" thing in a picture at least once. ALL. I like to think bunnies do it too. I baked two 13x9 sheet cakes and carved out the bunny bodies. The day before I made a batch of marshmallow fondant. This was the first time I worked with fondant and I wasn't sure if it would be enough or not (it wasn't). While the bunnies were in their tanning booth I made some buttercream frosting. After carving out the bunnies I covered the would-be pink one in frosting. I realized that I would need all the fondant save a bit for one bunny so I tinted it pink and covered up the individual parts of the bunny. The next day I made another batch of fondant and the day after that (today) I tinted it "as-blue-as-i-could-get-it-without-losing-my-marbles" blue and covered the other bunny. I tinted what was left an even darker "blue" and rolled out cylindrical strips, brushed a bit of water on, and stuck 'em on. In the end it took about 3 days, alot of patience but I got back a whole lot of experience points and a pair of delicious bunnies.
