Mr Hoppalong!

I adore bunnies and have started collecting (sorta) natural colored plush bunnies for Willow.
They are so cuddly!

Mr Hoppalong was created like this:

1) (wholegrain) Bread!

2) Cut the ears

3) tada!

4) and a headshape from another piece and your on your way!

5) use a piece from the first sandwich (ears) 

to make the snout too!

6) Almond-butter it up!

Color the snout with peanut-butter.

7) Cut some circles and ears in cheese

8) I used a few dried apricots + cucumber as carrots, 

a dried sour cherry as snout, 

shredded coconut whiskers and dried blueberry eyes. 

Cheese moon and stars.

My little hero is still sick and he has been eating quite little so at least he ate all the dried fruits, the cheese and one ear! His appetite is just not there, poor boy <3 data-blogger-escaped-br=""> I hope he gets well really soon! I cant stand it when he is sick :( its so hard for the little ones!

I hope you had a lovely weekend :)

Lil miss Easter-bunny

She is made of quite sticky rice, tomatoe (nose and butterflies) cucumber (bow), olive (eyes), apple (teeth and butterfly bodies.

Just shape the cooled down rice and add the tiny details.

This is super easy and makes dinner so much more fun, although I generally do all the other meals 

Bunny bunbun fail!

Did you see the picture of bunnies on facebook? It was bun-bunnies and they looked fab. Simple enough for me, I reckoned!
So, I put my baking gloves on (no, not really) and decided to try, but I was not impressed with my buns or my bunnies, so I won't post a recipe.
I need to try to make these again, preferably successfully and better looking.
However; i made them look cute on the plate and they are most definitely edible, so nothing goes to waste!
I bet'cha the next batch will be amazing, as I think I figured these bunnies out! Hang on for my amazing result later this week (so hopeful!)

And we all learn best through trial and error!
(Yes. Even grown ups)

What was your biggest baking blooper?
I have done quite a few as Im brave and bold in the kitchen: but terrible with recipes!!
Once I was going to make wonderful looking cupcakes with super amazing frosting: made the cupcakes, all good. Then i made the frosting.
With the same recipe I used for the muffins! Ha! Terrible!!

Have a lovely day.

Almond Bunny

Smelling a little flower.

A little Thumper inspired. Or little nutbrown hare. Or Peter Rabbit. 

All very beautiful bunnies, popular with the kiddoes :)
We read these as bedtime stories almost every night. 

  

I use organic raw almonds as they have the highest nutritional value.
