This recipe was soooo easy. I used a foil-lined cookie sheet to display it bunny. Then I added green food coloring to some extra coconut and placed it around the bunny. A few robin’s eggs in the grass and it was a huge hit!
I’ve made this several times now and it’s been a big hit every time. The best part is that it’s sooo easy! For the inside of the ears I either use pink strawberry icing or use a little red food coloring with the white icing to make it pink or sprinkle the ears with pink sugar crystals. It comes out adorable no matter what you use!
