Thank you to all of you who have emailed Mrs. Bunny, guessing what medium Mrs. Bunny chose to be sculpted in.  To those who guessed gum paste - correctomundo!  There is a lovely photo of Mr. and Mrs. Bunny in gum paste atop a cake on the translator, Polly Horvath's, web site.  The artist who works so daringly in paste of the gum is Dan Chau.  He was working from the very brilliant Sophie Blackall's renditions of Mr. and Mrs. Bunny.  Mrs. Bunny thinks Ms Blackall does a lovely job of drawing them.  Although Mrs. Bunny likes to point out the pencil always adds ten pounds.  Mr. Bunny says, yeah, Sophie's okay but for some reason she always draws Mr. Bunny way too SHORT.  He is clearly a whole head taller than Mrs. Bunny so what gives?  "Yes, dear,"  says Mrs. Bunny, checking the top of his head for fleas.  She is not saying he has any, just that she is ever-vigilant.
"Bah,"  says Mr. Bunny.  "Double bah!"
He is not in the best of moods.  Poor Mr. Bunny just got back from auditioning for Dancing with the Cars.  A lovely new reality show where stars of stage and screen  of whom very few people have heard, cha cha with their Porsches.  Mr. Bunny had hoped his Smart Car would be up to the challenge but they lost out to a marmot and his Audi.  Mr. Bunny has taken this as a sign that the world is coming to an end and has gone to live in the basement.  Mrs. Bunny, as soon as she is finished posting this blog, will attempt to lure him up with carrot cake and the world will return to normal.

  1. Gum paste bunnies? How ever could something so wonderful come to fur-ition? Get it? Get it?

    Just a note that I believe the artist in question is not named Don Chau, but Dan Chau.

  3. Yes, but my advice is, if you are going to follow someone, wear your fedora. And try not to leave paw prints. Hop, hop, hop.
