Make Marshmallow Bunnies For Novel Easter Decorations

A Marshmallow Bunny makes the perfect edible cake decoration for Easter. These tiny white marshmallow rabbits are easily made from large marshmallows using only a pair of scissors. They are especially useful at Easter to decorate cakes, pies, puddings, and cupcakes. You can even use them as table decorations.

These little white rabbits with their pink nose and eyes are simply irresistible. Kids of all ages love them. You could even use them to decorate kid's birthday cakes. And the best part is you get to eat them afterwards.

How To Make A Marshmallow Bunny

This marshmallow rabbit recipe was adapted from an unidentified magazine clipping in Mom's old recipe scrapbook, circa 1929.

To make a marshmallow Easter bunny, you will need a pair of sharp scissors and a large marshmallow that is dry and firm. Use scissors to make cuts in the marshmallow as shown on the diagram below, following the direction of the blue-colored arrows.

To fashion the ears, snip the long top edges of the marshmallow as shown. For the rabbit's head, cut up in a V-shape at the short end of the marshmallow. For the tail, cut a downward V-shape at the opposite end of the marshmallow. At the marshmallow's bottom, make two little cuts for feet along the front edges.

Now, sculpt and shape your bunny by pinching the marshmallow with your fingers. Gently press down between the ears and in at the sides. Pinch the nose and the tail so they stand out from the body, also the feet. Now paint the eyes and face with a toothpick dipped in pink or red food coloring.

Try not to be discouraged if your first bunny isn't perfectly shaped. Simply eat him and try making another. It will take a little practice, but you will soon be making the cutest marshmallow bunnies you ever saw. And they taste every bit as good as they look.

Mom first made these little marshmallow rabbits to decorate an Easter cake, but I can also recall her making them for my birthday once. Instead of a birthday cake, she prepared a special cupcake for each guest. A rabbit holding a small birthday candle between its paws sat on a bed of green coconut icing on top of each cupcake. Naturally, they were a big hit.

Enjoy making a marshmallow bunny. They are perfect for Easter decorations and for decorating children's birthday cakes. Hint: Adults love them too.
