Bunny Lovin

Well Spring is here and Easter is fast approaching!

I was asked to make just a few cookies for some Easter baskets.  I wanted to keep the design simple, since I knew I wouldn't have a lot of time to devote to the decorating. 

Anytime I make Easter cookies, you can bet your bottom dollar some of them will be Rabbits, if not all of them.  I am a big fan of the bunny rabbit, so anytime I can incorporate them into something I will.

I decided to go classic Easter with just bunnies and carrots.  I started off by baking the delicious treats.

Ta Da!
Once they were cooled and ready to decorate.  I decided on a few pastel colors that would be perfect for Easter.

Pastel Royal Icing
Now the decorating begins.

Start with a plain cookie.

Then add the icing border.

Go ahead and fill in the cookie.
Finally add the white dots.
I did all of the pink rabbits, before moving on to the green ones.

Green icing filled in.

With added white dots.






After finishing all of the rabbit cookies.  I moved onto the carrots.



I started by filling in all of the green stems.

Then I moved onto the orange of the carrot.

I really wanted to keep all the colors of these cookies very soft and muted.

Once I was done with all of the carrot cookies, I added tails and bows to the rabbits for a final touch.  Here is the final product!  Not quite dry yet!







Happy Easter and Spring to everyone!  May it be filled with nothing but good, delicious delights!
