The theme for Rissy's fourteenth birthday party was "Some Bunny". Since her special day is late in March, it was easy to utilize some of my Easter rabbits as accessories. The silly little purse that hung on the front door (and happened to be Rissy's when she was a toddler) displayed an announcement to visitors.
Fresh fruit, and cantaloupe in particular, are favorites of the birthday girl. To slightly embellish the plain melon slices, I used a small cookie cutter to create interchangeable heart shapes.
Over the years, I've made variations of bunny cakes for Rissy so this year I chose a dessert that featured no cottontails but other favorites. Brownies baked in muffin tins had the centers spooned out and were filled with rounded scoops of vanilla ice cream, then topped with chocolate syrup and sprinkles. Fourteen of them, of course, held candles, and, of course, I didn't think to photograph the little delights until after serving time, when the ice cream had begun to melt and the syrup to run!
Vinny was the unequivocal winner of this hilarious game - picking up cotton balls and transferring them to a bowl with only a dab of toothpaste on his nose.
