Steps for Making a Faux Spring Cake

- Add 3-4 tablespoons of paint to the spackling.
- Fold in the paint to mix it, and add more if needed for color depth.
- Use the plastic knife to transfer the colored spackling onto the spring faux cake.
- Spread the colored spackling while leaving texture to make it look like real icing.
- Allow drying for 24-48 hours in a space that is warm and dry.
- In the meantime, create the bunny ears for the spring fake cake.
- Begin by gluing two 4″ pieces of leafy greenery stems to create a point.
- Repeat this step to make two ears.
- While the faux cake is drying, add the ears by puncturing them into the foam.
