For a special touch, create customized bunnies by adding colorful icing features with Wilton?s new Dessert Decorator Pro™ link to 415-850.

Lay Your Own Eggs

Popular marshmallow treats seem to "stick" around every Easter. Wilton has created a simple recipe for Rainbow Mallow Eggs to add a sweet, gooey delight to the treat basket. The eggs are created using Wilton?s Mini Egg Pan and can be personalized by coating with your favorite Colored Sugars.
