*Tip:
For the bunny, after the outlined icing sets a bit, flood the bunny cheeks, one tooth, and both ears. Continue flooding the rest of the bunny face and then the other tooth (you want one tooth to set up before flooding the other tooth so there are two distinct teeth instead of one giant tooth). Fill in the pink ears and the gray nose last.For the raccoon, pipe and flood the white portions of the raccoon mask. Continue with the gray sections. Pipe and flood the black portion of the raccoon mask; let this black icing set up before piping the raccoon nose, so the nose does not spread into the raccoon’s black mask.
*Tip:
Look for meringue powder in the cake decorating aisle of a hobby or crafts store.
