I put on an Easter party for some friends and their kids.
I needed a treat that was easy to put together and I wouldn’t be too sad when it was demolished.
I found a bunny cake from Betty Crocker and I thought it would be pleasing to most kids.

an absurd amount of marshmellows-check
my bff to help because I’d rather have someone else do all the work-check
Here’s Mr. Bunny in all his marshmellow glory.
ears-5 cupcakes each
then 3, 4, 4, 3 for the head
Our dessert area all finished!
Complete with Mr. Bunny, the most fabulous dessert ever that I will post a recipe for soon {carmelitas}, nest egg cupcakes, and the simple Pillsbury sugar cookies.
We used pink frosting for the ears and nose
and I’m 99.9% sure a little sweetie swiped some frosting from the nose!
Who could blame her?!
We used mini chocolate chips for the whiskers and the lips because it’s what we had on hand
and grasshoppers for the eyes.
Looks pretty similar right?!
Let the hunt begin!
I love parties, I love hosting and love the chaos of happy kids.
My sweet boy is just like his momma.
He had eye surgery on both eyes that morning and was ready to go hunting at 6 that night with a smile on his face.
Wouldn’t let me touch his hair, but I love him scruffy hair and all.
Daddy and Miss L coming to help him find the egg with his name on it.
We had 20 kids and over 200 eggs.
Such a blast!
What are some of your Easter traditions?

That’s really cute!! I love the idea of making a cake from cupcakes – I just made a soccer cake with that method: http://6dukes.blogspot.com/2011/04/soccer-cupcakes-how-to.html. Your fluffy bunny is adorable.

This bunny cake looks so good and easy to do. Wish I would have seen it a few days ago- oh well. Thanks for the good idea. Maybe a ghost for Halloween would work?
Thanks for checking out my headboard project! I appreciate the lovely comment!!
