How to Make an Easter Bunny Cake

Nope, you don't need to catch
the Easter Bunny first to make that cake... ;-)

Publishing something being food-related so soon
after the post with that disturbing video clip showing
alternate uses for baked beans and Marmite
was probably not the thing to do... Yikes!


But, we will have to trust you guys and believe that
you will use the cake you'll make for eating purposes only.


Promise?
Yes?
Sure?

Good!

Here we go:


In today's article, Monica Resinger tells us
how to make [as you might have guessed from the title ;-) ]
an Easter Bunny Cake and save ourselves
a bit of money in the process... Cool!


Can't wait until Easter
to make your cake and eat it?!

Call it a pre-Easter Bunny cake,
that what I've done with mine ;-)



Enjoy...

How to Make an Easter Bunny Cake

The Easter bunny cakes that you can buy from
the bakeries in grocery stores can be quite expensive;
by making your own, you'll save money. Here's how.


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. It should look like a half circle
standing on a plate; 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 the 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.
