Tuesday Toppers :Special Edition Easter Bunny

Today i'm giving all of you wonderful readers a special Easter treat and having a special edition of Tuesday toppers. I'm going to show you how to make my Easter Bunny cupcake topper.

2-small balls for cheeks

2-smaller balls for eyes

2- 3/4" logs for ears

-Cut two of the sides off.
