Create the Feet: Still using the same tip (#12), pipe two dollops at the bottom of the circle to form the bunny's feet. Carefully press the feet into the white sanding sugar on the plate, making sure they adhere well.
Tail Magic: With the same piping tip (#12), pipe a center dollop for the bunny's tail. Surround the center dollop with six more dollops, creating a fluffy tail shape. Gently dip the tail into the plate with white shimmer nonpareils, giving it a sparkly and eye-catching appearance.
Add Details: Switch to the piping bag with tip #3 and pale peony buttercream.Pipe small pads on the bunny's feet, adding a touch of color and definition.
Allow to Set: Allow the buttercream details to set and the shimmer nonpareils to adhere before serving or storing the cookies.
