Easter Bunny Cake
easy way to make a bunny cake
You don't have to spend a lot of money on a fancy cake pan to make a cute Easter Bunny Cake - try this easy way to make a bunny cake that your family will love!
| 2 round cakes white frosting 1 large pkg coconut food coloring | sprinkles assorted candies & jelly beans colored icing in a tube small bowl cool whip |
1. You will need 2 round cakes - your choice on flavor. You can use the packaged kind or our recipe for white cake if you want to make it from scratch.
2. Cover a large piece of cardboard or flat cake pan with foil.
3. Cut one cake into the bunny shapes as shown above.
4. Arrange the cake pieces onto your cardboard or flat cake pan.
5. Frost the bunny cake.
Reserve a small amount of frosting for the bowtie and color it with food coloring of your choice. I usually make mine blue but you can have any color of bowtie you like!
6. Sprinkle white coconut on everything but the bowtie and middle of ears. Color a small amount of coconut pink for middle of ears. Sprinkle pink coconut into center of ears.
7. Now comes the fun part! Decorate your bunny cake to make the eyes, nose and mouth.
You can use just about anything - from drawing out the face with tube frosting to licorice for whiskers, jellybeans for eyes and nose, etc. Just have fun and remember, there is always next year to make a new bunny in different colors.
I usually use colored sprinkles on the bowtie.
8. Now take your coolwhip and spread a small layer around the sides of your bunny. Take the rest of the coconut and color it green with food coloring. Then sprinkle it around the bunny to make Easter grass. (the coolwhip helps the green coconut to stick) To put the finishing touch on your bunny cake, sprinkle some jelly beans in the "Easter grass" coconut.
* I make this every year for my kids and they love it!!
