Easter Bunny Flowerpot Cake

Posted in Celebration Cakes, Chocolate, Easter, Figure Modelling, Fruit/Veg, gluten-free, Iced Cakes, Spices, Sugarpaste flowers, tagged , , , , on June 5, 2025| Leave a Comment »

I took inspiration from a flower pot cake that I had seen and reused the two bunnies I had kept safe in a box from the Easter cake I made a few years ago. I also tried a new simnel cake recipe that had chocolate in and pistachio marzipan. Click here to see more pics of this colourful cake and try the recipe.
