Bunny tutorial

You will need 

400gms modelling paste 

Pink progel colour

Black progel colour

Small heart plunger cutter 

Lily leaf cutter

Rolling pin

Ball tool

Veining tool

Cocktail stick

Edible glue 

I used approx 400gms of modelling paste but you can choose to make it bigger or smaller. 

1: to make the body roll a large ball then shape it into a cone shape;  leave to harden for a couple of hours ( this will ensure it keeps it's shape once the head as been put on ) 

2:  To make the arms take 2 small balls and roll each one into a sausage shape. 

3: continue to shape by tapering at one end to form the arm.  Indent 2 lines at the fatter ends with the cocktail stick to form the paws.

4:  attach to the body with some edible glue.

5: for the ball roll 2 balls into egg shapes and slightly flatten.

6: Use the cocktail stick to indent 2 lines on each foot to form toes.  Stick to the body with edible glue.

7: To make the head roll a ball and check size against the body to see if it is proportional to the body;  continue to shape the head by rolling into a egg shape

8: Use a small knife to indent an impression of a nose.

9:  Indent 2 eye sockets with the ball tool. Use the cocktail stick to make 2 small lines on each eye for eyelashes.

10: To make the ears colour a small piece of paste pink.  Roll out enough white to cut 2 ears from; roll out the pink and cut the heart arrange them randomly on the white paste.  Once you have covered the White paste with hearts gently roll over the whole lot to embed the hearts into the White paste.  ( don't roll too hard as this will distraught the hearts too much. ) 

11: use the lily leaf cutter to cut 2 ears and attach to the head with edible glue.

12: Make 2 small bows for her head by rolling 4 small balls and shaping into triangles indent with the veining tool.

13: Attach to the ears and roll 2 more tiny balls to place in the centre of each now.

14: To finish colour a tiny amount of paste with the black progel and roll 2 balls for the eyes.  Use pink petal dust to apply blush to her cheeks and bit of pink dust between the paw lines.  Add a small butterfly or flower on her hand for a final finishing touch 😄
