Snow Bunny: Is it supposed to be food?

[PrayingMantis10]

I think the Snow bunny from the Snowboy set is very cute. I always thought it was a cake with frosting on it because it looks like it's on a plate. But .....am I wrong? Is it supposed to be a pet bunny??? If it's not food , I'm taking it off my dessert table immediately before Gordon Ramsay comes to scream at me for trying to poison my visitors.

It does look like its food. It could just be a bunny made out of snow with leaves on it though.

its food if you want it to be.

i like the way this guy thinks

lol. okay. It's food and it's going to stay food

It's not a food item. Technically it is edible, but it's literally just a bunch of snow with two leaves stuck in.

It seems to be a kind of thing people do when it's been snowing outside, like an alternative to making snowmen. It's also more popular in Japan than it is anywhere else, likely due to their fascination with cute things.

I always thought it was either snow or a cute donut / pastry. It seems weird if it is a pet bunny since it is on a plate.

You can buy a marshmallow candy of it with the same name, Yukiusagi (雪うさぎ). Translation, Snow Rabbit/Bunny.

I don't know much about the origin of the Snow Bunny, but I think it originates from Chinese culture? But pretty much its a ball of snow with two leafs for ears and two small nuts for eyes. Like a snowman, its made for the fun of it and even brought inside or placed on a plate. Reindeer pretty much explained enough.

I had wondered if sugar syrup was poured on it to make it sweet like a sno-cone

ROFL, yeah I know. I think easter everytime I see them, like them Cadbury Creme Eggs (If you know what I mean, if not google it).

I think so, let me check.
EDIT: Nope, I was thinking another candy, Peeps lol.

There is a sweet called Hiyoko Manjū, Chick Bun (ひよ子饅頭) though: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ひよ子
But its not the same. ^^;
