Easter Baskets and Bunny Cake

I decided that after five years of using the same small {and SUPER cute} Easter baskets, that I need to upgrade the boys' baskets to something that will hold more than 3 eggs a little bigger.

I found some cute fruit baskets at Hobby Lobby for $3.99 each, and I decided that they were just the right size for Easter baskets. I also picked up some polka dot ribbon and some wooden tags while I was there. With a little bit of spray paint and hot glue, I knew I could make some SUPER cute Easter baskets! I painted the baskets and let them dry over night.
I used my hot glue gun to attach a strip of ribbon around the basket.
I followed the brace in the center of the basket, but you could really put the ribbon anywhere you want.
Then I tied a cute little bow on one side of the basket for a little more color.
I used some wooden tags {4/$1 at Hobby Lobby} and Mod Podged each of the boys' names on them in colors that coordinated with the ribbon. {In case you haven't noticed before, Henry's color is always blue, Grant is always green, and Eli is always orange} Then, I used my Cropodile to add the grommet, but you could just make a hole and pull the ribbon through without it.
I tied the name tag on with another piece of polka dot ribbon, and filled the basket up with green paper Easter grass.

Now my boys have baskets big enough for a SUPER Easter egg hunt:)

BUNNY CAKE
Henry's class had an Easter party yesterday, so I decided to make a Bunny Cake.

You need two round cakes, icing, and candy to decorate with.

Leave one of the round cakes whole and cut bunny ears out of the other. {You can also make the extra piece from the ears into a bow tie, but I didn't have room for it on my baking pan.}
Cover the cake in icing.
And then decorate away. I usually cover the whole cake in coconut, but I figured the Kindergartners might turn their noses up at it:)
A simple and easy Bunny Cake perfect for an Easter party!
I hope everyone has a great Easter weekend!
