Directions:
Frost cake with white buttercream frosting
Divide the rest of the buttercream equally into 4 bowls. Tint buttercream with food coloring pastel blue, pink, yellow & green. Place buttercream in icing bags. I used a #233 tip for the green, #32 tip for the blue, #1M for the yellow and #2D for the pink.
Pipe grass in a 3″ circle on the top middle of the cake. Next pipe flowers top of the cake, alternating colors and designs.
Next gather some pastel egg candies (I used Cadbury Mini eggs) and some flower icing decorations (optional)
Decorate the top of the cake with the eggs & icing flowers.
To make the bunnies, roll out the white fondant and cut out bunny shapes using the cookie cutter.
Next take a food safe paintbrush and dab a little water in the middle of the bunny’s tummy, next slightly press in a candy egg.
Next bring one arm over the egg and secure with a little water. Press down gently.
Repeat with the other arm. Let fondant dry completely or overnight.
After the fondant has dried completely, make 2 small dots with the black food writer for eyes.
Then add a nose with the pink food writer like the picture below.
With the food safe paint brush, add some edible pink decorating dust to the inside of the bunny’s ears.
Now add the bunnies to the side of the cake, about an inch apart so they circle the entire cake. You can secure them with a little more buttercream frosting if desired. Pipe on a little grass with the green buttercream and #233 tip in between each bunny.
Add some icing flowers to the grass if desired.
Place one bunny on top in the middle of the cake.
Pipe a little more grass to secure the bunny.
