Decorating Chicks
1. Once cake balls are firm, carefully dip in melted yellow chocolate until covered. Remove from chocolate and lightly tap to remove excess. Note: To tap off chocolate, place stick in left hand and gently tap stick with right hand. Rotate stick occasionally to create a smooth chocolate surface.

3. Once chocolate is dry, draw eyes using edible ink pen.
4. Attach 1/3 orange flower sprinkle using toothpick dipped in melted chocolate for beak.
5. Attach two orange flower sprinkles for feet.
Decorating Bunnies
