There has to be some gum-paste Easter bunnies on my Easter cake. You can make them sit or lie down in any form, and they look just adorable. In this video and picture tutorial, I will show you how to make the two I know - simple, easy, and quick.
1drop Pink gel food coloring or 100 grams of pre-colored pink fondant
Instructions
Gum Paste Easter Bunny I
Proportions - Divide the fondant or gumpaste for the parts. Large white for the body, medium for the head, small pink for the ears, tiny pink for the nose, and tiny white for the tail. Black edible pen for the eyes and a knife to cut and shape.
250 grams Fondant , ½ tsp CMC, 1 drop Pink gel food coloring
Body - Take a golf-size ball of white fondant and shape it into a teardrop. - Take another small ball of pink fondant and shape it into a flat teardrop. - Stick it to the front of the white teardrop and set it upright.
Head - Take another small ball of white fondant and roll it into a teardrop. - Then, flatten the long end of the teardrop and make a cut in between to make two long teardrops for the ears. - Add two small teardrops of pink, place them on the ears, and flatten them further. - Use the back of your knife to mark a line in the center. Shape the ears and twist them slightly to give them character.
Face - Mark the eyes with your black food pen, and use the tiny pink ball to shape the nose into a triangle. Use a toothpick to mark the whiskers.
Feet - Take two small marble-size balls of white fondant and shape them into two teardrops. Flatten them and use the back of a knife to make the paws. Use pink fondant dots for the flat of the feet and paws.
Tail - Roll a tiny white ball into a teardrop, flatten it, and stick it on.
Combine - Place a toothpick in the body you made earlier. Place the head on the body.
