Marshmallow Bunny

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.

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 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 bottom of the marshmallow, make two little cuts for feet along the edges of the marshmallow.

Now, 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.
