Ombre Bunny Mini Cakes

I am just fascinated with any dessert that is individual 

and beautiful and these are just magical.  

Individual desserts just seem more special, 

and with the layers of pink and white - these 

just made me smile while I was making them.

Fortunately, I had all the ingredients at home to 

make the Classic White Cake 

from Cake by Courtney.  

She is local here in Utah, but she posts so 

many of her wonderful recipes online.  

I made my cakes in 4 - 6 inch pans lined with 

parchment paper, then cut the layers in half, 

and finally cut with a round biscuit cutter.  

A full recipe made 6 mini cakes.  

The only thing I changed with her recipe 

was using almond flavoring for my frosting 

rather than vanilla.  

With four layers, they are so tall and wanted to 

become Leaning Towers of Easter - so I 

used bamboo skewers to hold them upright. 

The ears were rolled out of fondant, and I used 

a bunny cookie cutter to cut the ears.  A little 

light corn syrup and a sprinkle of lustre dust 

finished the ears off. 

They were as yummy as they look.  I 

doubt any will last until Easter Sunday, 

but it is always fun to spread holidays out a little. 

Bunnies In the Grass Table

The bunnies all hopped in to say hello for this 

Easter Tablescape.  They are just relaxing on 

the grass before Easter arrives, and 

hoping to get a bite to eat. 

You may remember our Easter a couple of years 

ago where the kids all took pictures with 

my son and DIL's bunnies.  The bunny on  

these salad plates remind of their bunnies.  

They actually thought they had run away, but 

they had burrowed down into tunnels, 

and were happily hiding out. 

Everything in the plate stack is square, and 

embossed white.  Turning some on an angle 

gives the plates a little more interest. 

The napkins pick up on the pink of the blossom 

on the plate. 

I made these bunny ear napkin rings a few 

years ago, covering toilet paper rolls 

with burlap, and surging the edges of the 

ears, and then gluing the ears on. 

Garden green flatware goes so nicely. 

I used my Mother's pink stemware to go along with 

the pink accents on the table.   

Of course, my favorite part of the table, and 

the most delicious is the Ombre Bunny Mini Cake 

at the top of each placesetting.

The table really makes it feel like Easter in the 

dining room.

This will be an unusual Easter for us, with 

no little cuties running around collecting 

Easter Eggs and having a fun dinner, so I 

made some fun treats to drop by their houses.   

I will be posting the directions for the 

Ombre Bunny Mini Cakes in my 

next post.  (They are delicious!)

And so stinking cute!!

Thanks for stopping by.  Although your Easter celebration 

may be unique this year, I hope it brings you peace 

and finds you healthy.

I will be posting this with
