Easy Easter Cake | Fluffy Tails & Big Ears

Easter is one of my favourite times of year. Spring is upon us, Daffodils are sitting in every vase I own, chocolate is an acceptable food group and there are Bunnies adorning everything in shops (seriously I do NOT need any more novelty bunny things). 

I got the idea for this treat, combining my loves of chocolate, baking and bunnies, after speaking with my lovely friend Nancy who is also an avid baker. Essentially this is simply a chocolate sponge with a 'well' cut out in the middle for a chocolate cornflake nest and covered in Nutella buttercream.

WARNING - PICTURE HEAVY POST.

So as the title suggests I have two very important people I need to introduce you to. My little house bunnies; JJ and Bella. JJ (short for Jasper Junior) is a black and white, Mini Lop who will be 4yrs old in June. I've had JJ since a baby (spot the fluffy photo below) and after nearly 2yrs I was nearing the end of Uni and knew he'd be needing a friend. It so happened that when I browsing Freecycle for furniture, I saw a gorgeous bunny who had had a rough time at her current home with another bunny bullying her and ripping out her tummy fur. Her owners were very accommodating and let me take her in with a giant cage free of charge.

The courting process took only a few weeks before it was easy to see these two had fallen in love pretty quickly! They spend hours grooming one another and chasing the other's tail!

They have huge personalities and love nothing more than running through their tunnel, climbing their castle or chowing down on some Basil, Grapes or Spring Greens. I'll stop waffling now and leave you with a selection of photos!

I think I'll leave it there for now ! No doubt I'll be sharing more rabbit stories in the future! If you are a rabbit fan, my instagram tends to feature their antics heavily so come take a look!

Let me know about your pets and their antics & if you're a fan of rabbits too! I need someone else to witter on about them too!
