A Cottontail Cake

I love all of the seasonal Funfetti cakes.  For Valentine's Day- Natalie and I baked one in the shape of a heart.  It was super cute and SO YUMMY!  We went to Target today and this was an impulse buy- super cheap and super easy...  I decided to make a layered 8" round cake.  Simple enough.  I thought I left enough time for it too cool but I still got crumbs in the icing...Need improvement there.  I placed a bunny cookie cutter (which I love- so many uses!) on the top and filled it with the spring decor toppers.  I liked how it turned out- sorry about shadow- I was so excited to upload it.

 

Easter Egg Decor

I love when I go to parties and the kids have made the decorations.  A couple years ago- I had my niece help me do the name cards for our Thanksgiving table.  I traced her hand and turned them into turkeys.  They were SUPER cute and everyone loved them.
Here is an adjustment on this project which I love but my husband convinced me not to go empty Lowe's and Home Depot's paint department in fear I might be placed on "THE LIST"...
After putting the Easter garland together I realized this could be easily done with many of the major holidays- you would obviously have to change the color scheme.

This is what you will need:

- Water colors (one with lighter colors)

- Paint brushes

- Cup of water

- White crayon

- Egg tracer (I used this one)

- Pencil

- Scissors

- Small hole punch

- Ribbon or yarn

I first drew a line down the middle a 26 x 3 1/2 piece of paper using a white crayon.  This helps the colors stay separate (crayon resist).

My garland has only 2 colors- the kids will have a variety of colors.
The kids chose 2 colors- one for the top and one for the bottom.

I let them dry and then cut them into 2 1/2 strips (which fits the egg tracer nicely).  I got 9 eggs out of each strip.

I then traced the egg on one paper, layer the rest underneath alternating the colors (flipping the paper), stapled them and cut them out.

I put 2 hole punches in each egg and strung them onto the yarn.

SUPER CUTE, SUPER EASY, and the kids LOVED it!
