Recipe: Easter Bunny Cake (cake head and body, construction paper ears)

Easter Bunny Cake
(cake head and body, construction paper ears)

Bake your favorite cake recipe or store bought cake mix according to package direction in two 9-inch round cake pans. (you will only need one layer of cake, so save the other for snacking)

When cooled, cut round in half, frost the top of one half and place the other on top on top of it
Arrange the cake upright on a platter with the cut sides down.

Cut out a small triangle and round the edges with a knife. (You're making a Bunny body...it's egg shaped)

Frost the cake with white frosting and sprinkle it with a layer of coconut "fur" (For a pink bunny, you can mix the coconut with 4 drops of red food coloring.)

Decorate with construction paper ears, use jelly beans or gumdrops for eyes, a nose and mouth.
Black shoestring licorice makes good whiskers and a marshmallow makes a perfect cotton tail.
