Easter Bunny Cake
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
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.
