Steps for Making a Faux Spring Cake

Stack your foam discs on top of each other.
Hot glue the discs together on the surface of the discs.
Place spackling into a disposable bowl using an old spatula or disposable tool.
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.
To finish the cake — whether wet or dry — remove the stem of the floral and add it to the cake .
Voila! Place your adorable fake cake on a cake stand or somewhere else in your home.
