Hi Friends! Thanks for joining us for our DIY Bunny inspired party hop! Thanks for joining me from Bella Grey Designs! Weren’t her bunny party favors the cutest?!

Today I am sharing a DIY Tutorial for an Easter Bunny Peeps cake! This cake is so easy and fun and sure to be the star of your Easter party!

So, let’s hop to it shall we? You can use any cake mix or homemade cake recipe. I chose to keep it simple and use a store bought cake mix.

1. Buy and gather your supplies:

• Cake Mix or ingredients for your cake
• Shredded Coconut
• Green Food Coloring
• Easter M&M’s
• Frosting ingredients
• Peeps in bright Easter colors

2. Make and bake your cake according to directions.

*I grease my pans using real butter and flour and the cake always comes out of the pan so easily.

3. Place shredded coconut in a bowl and add several drops of green food coloring to create the “grass” for the cake.

4. Make frosting – I use my tried and true buttercream frosting recipe from my mom!

Homemade buttercream frosting recipe:

16 ounces of Powdered Sugar

1/2 cup of softened butter

1 tsp of vanilla

A couple of tablespoons of milk

Directions:

*In a medium bowl, beat butter and vanilla on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth

*Add in powdered sugar and continue to mix

*Add in a tablespoon of milk at a time; you may need to add more milk to get to your desired consistency

5. Frost cake.

6. Sprinkle green shredded coconut onto cake.

7. Add your peeps in alternating colors around the cake-they just stick right to the cake with the frosting-so easy!

8. Sprinkle on Easter colored M&M’s and you are done! How cute is this cake?!

This cake will sure to be a hit with your family and friends at your Easter party or brunch, especially with the kiddos! I added some funny bunny toppers simply by attaching bunny stickers from the Target dollar spot onto cute paper straws!

I displayed this cute cake on my vintage cart that I decorate for the holidays. Perfect spot for it!

I love DIYs that are simple, fun, and cute! And this cake fits all of those criteria!

I hope you make an Easter Bunny Peeps Cake for your Easter brunch or party! They are so fun, easy, and super cute! Kids will love this cake! Now hop on over to Bird’s Party for her DIY Bunny Candy Tubes!

XOXO,

Nicole

Thanks for joining the Spring into Easter Blog Hop! We are excited to share all of our Spring and Easter inspiration with you! Welcome from all of the hosts!

Today I am sharing a fun, “You are Somebunny Special” Easter Egg Hunt party. Is there anything more fun on Easter than an Easter Egg hunt? The kids love it so much! I remember as a child getting so excited to find the eggs. I couldn’t fill my basket up fast enough! For this egg hunt, I set up a little party area outside in our backyard.

The theme I chose for the egg hunt is “You are Somebunny Special.”  I found these adorable plush bunnies with glasses on Oriental Trading – they became my inspiration for the theme/decor for the party. I reached out to the creative Meghan from Elva M. Design to create custom printables for the party. I just love how they turned out-the bunnies with the glasses! So adorable!

These bunnies were handed out as a party favor with a cute tag that said “You are Somebunny Special.”

They looked so cute displayed on my vintage stool I found at a local flea market.

For the sweets and treats, I kept it simple with store bought cupcakes that I embellished with beautiful sprinkles and cupcake holders from Bakers Party Shop and a cute cupcake topper.

I also put out powdered donut holes – aka bunny tails with some peeps on sticks. Simple and fun!

I made this peep bouquet by putting peeps on sticks and placing in a ball jar filled with marshmallows. I love how cute this came together.

Meghan also made these cute Easter Egg hunt signs. I printed and cut them out and displayed on this board to direct the kids to the egg hunt.

These little bunny bags were filled with easter candy:

I love using my aqua Ikea Raskog cart to style parties. It adds a modern touch and is so versatile! I have decorated this cart for many different parties and holidays.

How cute are they bunny balloons from Oriental Trading?! They made the perfect decor for each side of the dessert area.

This is adorable “Hoppy Easter” banner is from Two Chihuahuas. I love the color of this banner-so perfect for Easter! The DIY egg and bunny banner I created simply by attaching cardstock eggs and bunnies I found in the Target dollarspot to bakers twine with mini clothespins. I also added these mini honeycomb balls to each egg from Bakers Party Shop. I think they look like little bunny tails. So cute!

“Somebunny Loves You” print:

Such a fun party! The kids had so much fun, including my little somebunny special!

Hello Friends! Welcome to the Spring Party Hop! So happy you are swinging by my porch today! If you are joining me from Craft my Occasion’s A Baby Girl is Blooming baby shower, welcome! Isn’t her shower so beautiful? I just love the gorgeous backdrop Lynette created for the party! So many lovely details! I am so excited to team up these amazing bloggers for a fun Spring Party Hop!

Today, I am sharing a “Hoppy Easter” kids Easter party. I set up a kid friendly easter table setting for my boys and couple of their close friends for a fun and sweet get together. Celebrating holidays with my boys brings me so much joy! And Easter is so fun because it means spring is just around the corner and with that comes all things spring; being outdoors in the fresh air, seeing everything start to bloom, hearing the birdies chirp, and bunnies everywhere! Here in the midwest where the winters are so long, we can’t wait for Spring!! For this party, the decor centered around lots of cute bunnies and carrots. My inspiration came from all of the bunnies we have hopping around in our backyard this time of year. My boys love seeing them and get so excited when one hops up on our deck. Now let’s hop to the details of the party!

I used some fencing I found at a local vintage market and a old cupboard I painted with aqua chalk paint as the backdrop and attached the gorgeous “Hoppy Easter” banner from Two Chihuahuas. I just love this banner! The colors were perfect and served as the focal point of the backdrop. The kids loved that it said “Hoppy Easter” too! Be sure to check out Christine’s etsy shop for custom banner, cake toppers, and more beautiful party decor! Above the Hoppy Easter banner I hung another gorgeous banner – a pink, mint, and white tassel banner from Glam Fete! I am slightly obsessed with tassel banners, how about you?

On each side of the backdrop, I put up these adorable wooden bunnies I found at Target. They came unfinished so I used my adorable wrapping paper from Gift Wrap My Face and traced the bunnies on the paper. Gift Wrap My Face makes the cutest custom wrapping paper with faces on them! What a genius idea, am I right?!  I ordered this Easter themed wrapping paper with my two boys’ faces-it is just so cute! When my boys saw their little faces on the paper, there were lots of giggles! So fun! I mod podged the paper on to each bunny and tied a cute bow around each one. I love how they turned out!! Be sure to check out Gift Wrap My Face and create your own custom paper!! It is so much fun! Stay tuned later in this post for how I used the paper in another unique and fun way!

At each place setting, there was a beautiful striped lavender plate and aqua striped cup from Pink Poppy Party Shoppe! So pretty! I added a gold foil bunny sticker and a cute bunny straw to each cup. If you are looking for unique and beautiful party decor, make sure to check out Bethany’s shop! Lots of eye candy!! Bunny napkin rings and a bunny tail sticker made for the cutest bunny diy napkins! Each child received an egg shaped rice krispy treat in a felt carrot holder. Lynette from Craft My Occasion made these delicious treats and provided the idea to use edible markers to decorate the eggs. Such a fun and creative idea! Not only is Lynette a talented party stylist, she makes the most amazing treats for parties! Click here to contact Lynette for your custom party edibles! See later in the post for all the decorating fun!

~How pretty do the egg treats look on those plates?!~

~Bunny napkins~

Each child also received one of these adorable party favor kits from FestiveFetti! “Wishing you a very Hoppy Easter!” When I saw these kits on FestiveFetti’s instagram feed, I just had to have them for this party! They went perfectly with the theme! I added a chocolate Lindt bunny and a little carrot clothespin to each favor. Brenda makes the most amazing custom confetti! Click here to order your custom confetti! What’s a party without some confetti right?!

More details of the party table. This bunny centerpiece was created simply by adding these cute fabric carrots I found in the Target dollarspot to this ceramic bunny. I tied an aqua ribbon around the carrots and placed the bunny on a little cakestand. I also found the Easter sign at Target too! Simple and pretty!

Chocolate eggs in mini party cups on cupcake stands made for cute little easter egg baskets.

I filled these beautiful glass aqua bunny jars with spring shaped marshmallows.

I needed something for the front of the table so I quickly made this bunny banner using pre-cut bow-tie bunnies I found in the Target dollarspot-I love the little bow-ties on them! I hot glued some white poms I had on hand for the tails. I attached each bunny with mini carrot and orange clothespins. I love simple and quick DIYs.

Mini cupcakes with diy cupcake toppers were served on this beautiful cakestand made by the talented Lori from Giggle Living! I placed Lori’s cakestand on top of a smaller cakestand for height and added some Easter colored m&m’s. I love how it all came together. Lori makes the cutest cakestands, magnet boards, fabric banners and lots more unique and beautiful party and home decor.  Be sure to hop on over to her website and see all the amazing inspiration.

I just love these easter baskets from Target. Again, those bowties, just so cute!

After the kids enjoyed their yummy easter treats, it was time for some rice krispy treat easter egg decorating! I set up a little decorating station and used the Gift Wrap My Face wrapping paper as the backdrop! So fun!

At the decorating station was a basket of the rice krispy eggs, a bunny dish filled with edible markers, a plate to place the treat on, and a egg placecard. The fabulous Gift Wrap My Face backdrop served as the focal point for the decorating station.

~Time to decorate!~

~How cute did they turn out! I of course had to decorate one too!~

~These silly brothers had so much fun at their “Hoppy Easter” party!~

I hope this Easter party for kids inspired you to throw a fun little easter party for your kiddos! Hoppy Easter!
