Ingredients
Scale
For the frosting:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black frosting
For the dippers (any variety of scoopable and snackable items):
Pretzels
Pirouette
Lemon cookies
Nilla Wafers
Shortbread Cookies
Vanilla Wafer Cookies
Robin Eggs Chocolate Candies
M&M Candies
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, about half of the powdered sugar, vanilla and salt.
- Mix on low until combined.
- Add in the remaining powdered sugar and mix on low until combined. If the frosting appears dry or crumbly, add a dash of water or milk.
- Bump up the speed to medium and whip for about a minute or until light and fluffy looking.
- Transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
- Print the template provided and cover with a piece of parchment.
- Pipe stars around the outside edge and then fill in the center.
- Use an offset spatula to flatten the icing.
- Use pink M&M candies to create the pinks of the ears and the heart shaped nose.
- Use the black frosting to pipe the bunny’s eyes, whiskers and mouth with buck teeth.
- Transfer your piped Easter image to your serving platter.
- Arrange the dipping items around the frosting, starting with the largest items first.
- Small items like the M&M’s and candies can also be placed in bowls to add another effect or used to fill in small spaces between items.
- Adjust the quantities of items, adding more or less, as the board gets filled in and covered to your liking.
- Serve immediately or loosely cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
Notes
- Buttercream needs to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. It will harden, so soften to room temp before using again.
- Dipping items should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
