Chicks & Bunnies

This post is very late but....Happy Belated Easter!!

For Easter this year I had my heart set on making Chick and Bunny cake pops that I had seen on Bakerella a year or so ago.  I decided I would do lemon cake for the Chicks and strawberry cake for the Bunnies...although the strawberry was good now that I think about it carrot cake would have been a good idea too for the Bunnies.

I was excited for how the Chicks turned out, they were a lot easier than the Bunnies, which turned out looking like scary aliens.  I wasn't able to find the pastel confetti sprinkles I needed for the eyes so I used rainbow candy coated sprinkles instead and they might have been too big and beady for eyes.  Another problem I had was with my edible pens, I have not been able to find pens that actually write on candy coating.  Does anyone have any suggestions on edible pens that actually work?
