Bunny Butts Cupcakes

I got this next idea for my cupcakes off of Pinterest. They were quite the rage during the spring of 2017, so I decided to attempt them. I was surprised; they didn't turn out that bad! This post will be my first tutorial, and will show how I created these adorable cupcakes.

1. With white Wilton fondant, I filled the smaller section of a plastic Easter egg, which I am using as a mold to create the body of the bunny. I popped them out of the egg by sliding the Wilton knife decorating tool between the plastic and fondant.

2. For the feet, I used Wilton Tip # 12 for the actual feet (white fondant) and Wilton Tip # 4 for the toes (pink fondant). I used the tips like cookie-cutters, pressing them into the fondant to create the desired shape. I then placed and gently pressed the toe pieces onto the foot pieces to create the wanted pattern.

3. I put these pieces of the bunnies into Wilton Storing Containers, and kept them at room temperature until the day I frosted the cupcakes (I made the tails last).

4. To frost the cupcakes, I used Wilton Tip #233, and colored the frosting using the Wilton Leaf Green frosting coloring.

5. I placed the bunny bodies directly in the center on the cupcake, letting it adhere to the frosting.

6. To stick on the feet, I used a simple, clean paint brush to brush lukewarm water on the feet then stuck them onto the body of the bunny.

7. To create the tails, I rolled small pieces of white fondant into balls, dipped in lukewarm water, then rolled in Wilton white sanding sugar. Next, I gently placed and pressed the tails onto the bunny to finish the body of the bunny.
