Easter Bunny Cake

/

I've been making this Easter bunny cake, every Easter, since I was 12 years old. I found the recipe in a Family Circle magazine and loved it. Cam helped me this year decorate the cake. We decided on Cadbury eggs for the eyes, nose and mouth and a few cute Peeps to decorate around the cake.

This cake can be made many different ways. I normally dye the coconut green (for grass) and put around the bunny cake, but I ran out of food coloring. Here is the recipe and traditional decorating technique, from Kraft Foods. Enjoy!

    DIY Sea Glass

    /

     

     

     

    Here's how to make these really pretty sea glass style jars!

    Materials needed:

    Old vases from Goodwill, Walmart sells canning jars that work well too.

    Elmer’s Glue

    Food Coloring

    Sponge Paint Brushes.

    You mix the glue with the food coloring to make your desired color. Add a little coloring to the glue, and then keep adding until you have the color you want. I put on the glue paint on around the lower part of the vase and the upper rim. Then, you do smooth strokes all the way up and down the vase. After it's dry, be sure to do one more coat for a polished finish.
