How to make Bunny Cupcakes by Nati

Roll out a fairly thick piece of gumpaste or fondant mixed with CMC/Gum Trag/Gum Tex and cut with a long leaf cutter
Give it a bit of a bend on the end, and allow to dry overnight. Make as many as you're going to need for all your cupcakes.
Roll out the same coloured fondant, use a round cutter the same size as the top of the cupcake you're covering. Cover the cupcake and smooth over.
With a knife cut two slits a few milimeters away from the wrapper.
Insert the ears, they must be completely dry and fairly thick or they will break
Cut out two small ovals or rounds for the eyes and stick them on. Please note i didnt use any glue or water to stick any bits on, as the fondant was very soft and everything just stuck to eachother
Cut out a small rectangle of white gumpaste, you can do this at the same time as you do the ears, so they can dry and it will save you time too
Mark the teeth, and cut in half.
Roll out a thick piece of fondant, and cut out two small circles. Roll them into balls, and then stick them on the bottom of the face.
Roll two tiny balls of blue gumpaste or fondant and stick on the eyes.
Roll another small ball of dark pink for the nose, and flatten a little. Then two tiny balls of black for the pupils
Cut a slit at the front to insert the teeth, and mark where the whiskers would go with a toothpick

VOILA!!! DONE!!!!
Making the ears and teeth first will save you a lot of time.

Wow!! Nati... High Five

That makes it LOOK so easy!!!!

I find these sort of step-by-steps INVALUABLE because invariably if I look at something and try to copy I NEVER get them looking the same.
(Hoping my bunnies might pass as brothers and sisters of yours and not some sort of rejects from the bunny society!! LOL)
