Decorating Instructions:
Step 8
When cooled, pipe a swirl of Renshaw Vanilla Icing onto each cupcake. Spread the icing on each cupcake out with a fork to create a rough texture like rabbit fur.
Step 9
For each of the rabbit's ears, knead a small amount of the Renshaw White Fondant Icing until soft and pliable. Roll two pieces of icing into Malteaser sized balls and mould into a small carrot shape, and then press them flat. Mark an indent down the centre of each ear.
Step 10
Place the ears close together towards one end of the cupcake and bend the end of the ears upwards. Repeat for each cupcake.
Step 11
For each rabbit's nose, knead a small amount of the Renshaw Pink Fondant Icing until soft and pliable. Mould the icing into a heart shape.
Step 12
Place the pink heart shaped icing in the centre of the cupcake for the nose. Repeat for each cupcake.
Step 13
For each rabbit's eyes, knead a small amount of the Renshaw White and Jet Black Fondant Icing until soft and pliable. Roll the white icing into small balls and press flat, then roll the black icing into smaller balls, press flat, and stick to the centre of the white icing with the Rainbow Dust Click Twist Edible Glue Brush (or cooled boiled water).
Step 14
Place the eyes onto the cupcake to make the rabbit's face. Repeat for each cupcake.
Step 15
For each cupcake, using the red writing icing, pipe a W shaped mouth out from the bottom of the rabbit's nose.
