Peek-a-Boo Bunnies Fondant Tutorial

As East­er is just around the cor­ner, I’m excit­ed to share this “Peek-a-Boo Bun­nies” tuto­r­i­al fea­tured in the Spring 2013 issue of The Par­ty Dress Mag­a­zine! Last year, I had the immense plea­sure of styling the East­er Egg Hunt par­ty for their 2012 issue and was so extreme­ly grate­ful for all the amaz­ing and sup­port­ive feed­back I received for the “bun­ny bum” push pops div­ing into their rab­bit holes! The bun­nies are back this year and are pop­ping up to take a peek and see if every­one’s ready for an ear­ly Easter!

Sup­plies you will need:

• white, pink and black fondant
• rolling pin
• large and small leaf cutters
• round tip {in this case, Wilton tips 12 and 5}
• mod­el­ing stick and knife tools
• food safe brush and water
• raw spaghet­ti
• white soft gel paste & toothpick
• push up con­tain­er, crushed Ore­os and choco­late pudding

Roll some white fon­dant into a ball and shape the top nar­row­er with your fin­gers, mak­ing sure it remains nice and rounded.

Roll out white and pink fon­dant and cut out two each with large and small leaf cut­ters respec­tive­ly. Use water to glue pink over white and indent with mod­el­ing stick. Insert small piece of raw spaghet­ti into ears and glue into the head.

Roll out pink fon­dant and use larg­er tip to cut out a cir­cle. Pinch one side with you fin­gers and use the knife to indent the oth­er side to cre­ate a heart and glue onto face. Roll out black fon­dant, cut out two small cir­cles for the eyes and glue. Uti­lize the tooth­pick to dip into white gel paste and “dot” the eyes.

Roll two small white fon­dant balls for the hands. With the knife tool, make three inden­ta­tions for fin­gers. Turn it upside down and make an inden­ta­tion with the mod­el­ing stick. Place on push up con­tain­er to mold.

Fill push up con­tain­er with pud­ding and crushed Ore­os and fin­ish it off by adding the bun­ny head and hands! You can vary the ears and eyes so the bun­nies are look­ing in dif­fer­ent direc­tions as they are pop­ping up and tak­ing a peek pri­or to hid­ing some eggs!

And don’t for­get, if you are inter­est­ed in the instruc­tions for last year’s “Bun­ny Bums”, it is avail­able, along with addi­tion­al inspi­ra­tion and tuto­ri­als in this year’s Farm Fresh East­er publication!
