2. Roll dough into a ball and put in a bowl, cover it and leave in a warm place (temperature must not be higher than 40c so be careful if using an over a warming drawer.

3. Put baking paper on baking sheet. Turn oven on to 200c

4. Lightly flour work surface. Give dough a quick knead then roll out to a depth of about 2 cm. Use your rabbit shapes to cut out bunnies (easily makes 4) . Place on the baking sheet leaving space between them.

5. Bake bunnies in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes.

6. Immediately mix together the cream and sugar, and paint over each bunny when it’s still warm immediately after removing from oven.
