Easter Bunny Cake

This recipe will make two Bunny Cakes. We have made these cakes in our house as long as I can remember, my mom made then when we were kids, and then we took over the tradtion years ago. It is a fun project and the cake tastes great too!

1 white cake mix
White Mountain Frosting Recipe (or your favorite white frosting recipe)
Coconut
Green Food Coloring
Jelly Beans
Paper for the ears

Prepare the cake mix per directions and pour the batter into 2 round cake pans. When done remove and cool the cake.

Once the cake is cooled, cut each round in half and stand the cut edge up on a cake plate. Cut out a 'v' sahpe just above where the face would be for the ears. Take one of the little pieces you just cut out for the tail, and eat the other one.

Make the frosting, we have always used a White Mountatin frosting which is very fluffy and tastes like marshmallows, it is also very sticky which works great with the coconut.

Once the frsoting is ready, put some between the two pieces and sandwich them together. Frost the outside generously.

Cover the cake with white coconut. Color some of the coconut green with food color and scatter around the bunny for the grass.

Decorate the face and grass with jelly beans.

Cut out the ears with pink construction paper.

Repeat for second bunny.
