Marshmallow bunnies

A few years ago a friend made some children I know bunnies similar to these.    The children enjoyed receiving them. A major challenge with these bunnies was to then get the children eating them.  Most thought that they wanted to save them for later. Sometimes they actually got the bunnies home.  Other times there was no way that was going to happen.

Ingredients

• Marshmallows.
• Scissors
• Tooth pick
• Food Colouring
• A little icing sugar if needed.

Method

1. Hold the marshmallow in your fingers so that while you are using the scissors the Marshmallow will have less chance of moving.
2. To make the ears:
1. Using the scissors make a diagonal cut towards the rim edge of the Marshmallow .
2. Stop before you get too near the top end of the Marshmallow.
3. Gently lift the corner that you have snipped.
4. Now snip along the middle of this piece. 
5. Rub a little of icing sugar between your fingers.
6. Separate the ears and angle them both outwards.
3. To make the tail.
1. Starting at the point of the first cut you made for the ears.
2. Snip down towards the back [away from the face direction] until you are about half way down the back of the Marshmallow. 
3. Pinch the end of this segment so that a cute little tail is made.
4. For the bunnies face [ and feet]
1. Starting about midway between the face and the where the front feet will be - snip about 0.7 cm [1/4 inch] towards the middle /bottom part of the body.
2. The upper side of the cut has become the lower jaw line of the face.
3. Snip the flap of the marshmallow in half. 
1. There are you two front feet.
5. Using a toothpick and a little food colouring - dip the end of the tooth pick into the dye.
1.  'Paint' a face on the bunny.

Edible Jelly Bean Basket of goodies.

As a gift or as part of a place setting these cup cakes are glorious fun to make.   Made in a two part basis the older children make up the cupcakes.  Once these are all cold to touch the next step begins. 

Ingredients

• 12 cupcakes - in the paper jackets they are baked with.
• 2 cups white icing
• 12 pieces of red or black licorice.[ about the sized of a pipe cleaner in width]
• Sweetened coconut - coloured green with green food coloring.
• 1 bag jelly beans
• 1 small amount of M & M's
• 1 x small amount of silver or gold marzipan cake decorating shapes.
• 12 ribbons

Method 

1. Place a cover on the creating area.
2. Place a drop of green colouring [if using it] into a bowl. 
1. Place the shredded coconut in the bowl.
2. Cover with cling wrap or seal the container.
3. Shake the coconut around in this colouring.
4. Take out the coconut and 'towel' the excess moisture off the coconut.
3. Ice the cupcakes first.
1. If using a  icing pipe try to layer the icing around the edges just a little.
4. Place both ends of the licorice into the cupcake.  Slide the ends down the side of the cup cake to the bottom.
5. On top of the icing mixture place a small amount of dry green coconut.
6. Place three jelly beans into the shredded coconut.
7. Add a few of the M& M's and Cake decoration pieces. 
1. Less is best in this cake decorating exercise.
2. Gently press the smaller pieces a little down into the green coconut.  A gentle pressure allows the icing sugar to be taken up and possibly stick the lollies onto the coconut.
8. Tie a small ribbon on the licorice.
