Carrots, Bunnies, and Jelly Beans


Tomorrow is Ashlyn's birthday so we celebrated at her school today. She gave me specific instructions on what she wanted me to do for cupcakes! She wanted them to look like they had grass with a bunny and Easter eggs on them. I wasn't sure what to do for the bunnies but I ended up finding a bag of 40 little plastic bunnies at Hobby Lobby for $1.50. Not bad! We used Smarties Jelly Beans as the Easter eggs. I intended on making the grass look more like grass but couldn't find the right tip to ice them with so....I did the best I could. :-) I think Ash was pleased with them! Her face lit up big time when I got to her classroom and she saw them for the first time.





We also made these cute "carrots"! We used the Wilton 12 inch plastic decorating bags, filled them with Cheetos, and tied them up with a piece of green tissue paper and green curly ribbon. By the way....I've learned to cheat and buy the gift bows that are made from curly ribbon. They are already curled for you and you just pull a string of it out and voila...you have the curls already done for you!! :-)

Hey Missy! My sister-in-law just did the same thing for Sunday School at church. Instead of iceing, she used grated coconut and used a few drops of green food coloring to turn it green. Sprinkled the coconut onto the cupcakes and placed the jelly beans on top. Just one more idea to think about if you like coconut. I do! They looked great and tasted wonderful!! :0)
