Wilton goes back to the 3rd grade
Since my son’s birthday is in July, he misses out on celebrating it at school. The teachers usually let them pick any day they want during the year to be there “school birthday”. This yea Royal decided he wanted it to be on the last day of school. As if this time of year is not crazy enough lol
I decided to just do cupcakes. It was the least mess and hassle for the teacher and I of course am a considerate mom 
The only thing about this is I hate to frost them and I am still in the learning stages with pastry bag. I took a few classes for it this year so while I am not horrible at it, there is still plenty of room for improvement.
I didn’t want to do anything to time consuming but I also wanted them to be cute. I had a bunch or Wilton Cupcake Wraps left over from a previous project so I figured I would just use those up. I also knew that I wanted to fill the cupcakes just for a little fun. I had never filled a cupcake before so I was a little nervous but it turned out being very simple.
Easter Bunny Cake with Printable Template
I have said many times in my life that I am a cook, not a baker. I don’t consider myself creative by any means. I had an itch to make something special for my sons. While searching the internet for a Bunny cake, I decided on the one below. For my first try, I was so happy with how it turned out. Many thanks to my Mother-In-Law and Grandmother-In-Law for making sure we didn’t have to eat it alone! Customize this cake with your favorite frosting, cake and accessories. The decorating was much easier than I had anticipated.
