Bunny Rabbit Birthday Cake

I know what you are thinking - that doesn't look much like a bunny cake. It is in fact a "despicable me minion" cake, which I made for Nathan's 9th Birthday, which was yesterday.
I was going to make him a chocolate cake, but  everyone agreed that he would love a "minion" cake. Mary says "you can use this basic shape to make other animals such as a cat, a teddy, a koala or an owl". I just adapted it!
Instead of putting the mix into  sandwich tins, I put it into a 10 x 12 tin and then cut out the oval shape. The feet were made from the off cuts.
The whole thing was covered in butter icing, and then the extras were made from licorice laces, chocolate buttons, licorice and a chocolate digestive covered in white icing for the eye!
Nathan was pleased with it, and we gave it 8.0
He had a lovely birthday, going out for breakfast with the family, and then in the afternoon, Nathan, Ben and I did "Go Ape" Junior at Leed's castle, which was great fun!
