Woodland Bunny Cake

If you're looking for a fun and playful cake that's perfect for Easter that calls for a touch of whimsy, then you'll love the bunny butt cake. The idea for this cake was inspired by a recent weekend visit at a Belgian farmhouse, where I saw lots of bunnies hopping around in the fields.

In addition to the playful bunny butt design, the tree trunk creates the centrepiece and is adorned with beautiful spring flowers. These buttercream flowers are easy to make with just a few piping tips and a bit of practice, and they're a wonderful way to showcase the colors and beauty of the season. So roll up your sleeves, grab your piping bags and get ready to create an impressive cake for Easter!

To create the rings of the tree trunk use a small angled spatula and rotate the turntable.

Using a 2D star tip to create the tree trunk texture. Piping organically lines and swirling circles of frosting creates the knots on the trunk and makes it more realistic.

Daffodil base/petals (yellow) - 103 petal tip & Daffodil centers (orange) - 102 petal tip

Here is the video slowed down to show how the daffodil is piped. I hope this helps!

After piping your daffodils make sure you can freeze them for 30 minutes so you can easily position on the cake.
