I’m pressing merrily on and making lots of Easter stuff that has been inspired by things I have seen on the remarkable collection-creator website. A case in point, this beautiful collection of Bunny Biscuits.

They are deeply gorgeous. And small. Mine were not so small, partly because the only egg-shaped cutter I had was a larger one. How did I make them?
1. I made a batch of plain biscuits from my favourite Biscuiteers recipe.
2. I whipped up a batch of thick strawberry flavoured fondant icing: just thin enough to spread with a knife.
3. I spread the aforementioned icing across the biscuit to the edges.
4. I took one white marshmallow, snipped it in half widthways so that it was round, and fixed it onto the rounder end of the biscuit. This is the bunny tail.
5. I took a pink marshmallow and squashed/stretched it a bit, then cut lengthways into strips.
Taking the middle two strips/ovals, I stuck these into the wet icing at the pointy end of the oval to create the ears.
6. I left them to dry overnight.
7. When the icing was dry, I used an edible felt pen to add eyes, mouth and nose. But you could use black/brown icing.
They didn’t quite match up with the picture I had in my head, but The Little Misses loved them. And that’s what counts.
They are just gorgeous! My little girl loves rabbits, I’m going to have to make her some!
