Easter Chicks Cake

This is the cake I made for our Easter celebration today. The Big chick on top as well as the little chicks and the daisies are all made out of my enhanced mmf. I used colored coconut for the grass on the cupcakes and jelly beans as the eggs. I just loved how this cake turned out even though it wasn't exactly how I had planned it.

Hope everyone had a great day!

Bunny and roses

I made this when emily made her cake, and i thought it was fitting to post since tomorrow is Easter. I hope everyone that celebrates it has a wonderful day tomorrow. Happy Easter :D
