Easter Bunnies.

Baking is becoming a bit of a new obsession for me and this is the first cake I have decorated to this level, I'm so pleased with it. OK I did get a little help from Baked and Delicious magazine but I did all the hard work. We shall be slicing into this after tea today and it will be just small slices too as this cake is made using 800grams of Dark, Milk & White chocolate, which if you add up the double cream and all the other usual cakey ingredients it's approximately 10,000 calories!
 {That's about 15 Zumba sessions worth!!}

Anyway I's like to enter this cakey make into challenges at:
{OK so its not made of paper, but the cake board is!!!}

Allsorts ~ Photo Inspiration.
The Crafty Pad ~ Egg-Tastic.
Kaboodle Doodles ~ Anything but a rectangle.
Creative Card Crew ~ Spring is in the Air.
Craft Us Crazy ~ Anything but a card.
Card Crafters Circle ~ Chocolate Bunnies!
Cute Card Thursday ~ I want Candy!


I've also been baking biccies. These I've iced and I shall be making some cute little boxes to put them in for Aiden to give to his Girlfriend instead of a Chocolate egg.


The recipes for my cake and biscuits can be found in Baked and Delicious {Spring Special} and Cake Decorating {Issue 1}. I've still got a little way to go before I can truly be a decorator of master pieces but Hey they taste soooooo good!
