How to Make an Easter Bunny Cake
By Monica Resinger

Did you ever see the bunny cakes in the grocery store bakery
department? If you have, you may have noticed that they can be
expensive. I'm going to tell you how to make your own so you can
save money.

You'll need:

any flavor cake mix
a round cake pan
white frosting (purchased or homemade)
stiff construction paper in white, black and pink
glue

optional:

Easter grass
jellybeans
shredded coconut

Directions:

Prepare the cake mix according to package directions and bake it in
the round cake pan. Most cake mixes make enough batter for two round
cake pans; therefore you can make two bunny cakes or make cupcakes
with the rest of the batter if you only want to make one bunny
cake.

After the cake has cooled, remove it from the pan and cut the circle
in half. With white frosting, frost the bottom of one of the halves
generously, then stand the two halves up on their cut side on a plate
or cake stand and push the two bottoms together so the frosting is in
the middle holding them together. Now frost the whole thing, this is
the body of the bunny.

For the eyes, cut two round circles out of white construction paper,
then two smaller circles out of black construction paper and glue
each black circle onto a white circle. Stick the eyes onto the
frosting on the front of the bunny body (one of the narrow ends).
For the ears, cut bunny ear shapes, in proportion with the body, out
of white construction paper. Cut smaller bunny ear shapes out of
the pink construction paper and glue them onto the white ones to make
the center of the ear. When glue has dried, insert the bottom of the
ears into the frosting about an inch above the eyes.

For further decoration, lay Easter grass around the cake, place
jellybeans on top of the grass and put coconut on the frosting of the
cake as bunny hair.

This cake makes a nice centerpiece for your table. Use it with a
vase of in season flowers and there you have it.
