Tips & Techniques

  • Easter Bunny Cake
  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Follow High Altitude directions on cake mix box for two 8- or 9-inch round pans.

  • Success

    No need to fuss over frosting. Freeze cut cake pieces uncovered for about 1 hour; this will make frosting a lot easier.

  • How-To

    To neatly display your cake, cover a large tray or cutting board with aluminum foil or colorful plastic wrap.

Ingredients

  • 1  box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® carrot cake mix
  • Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • Tray or cardboard, covered with foil
  • 1  container Betty Crocker® Whipped fluffy white frosting
  • 1  cup shredded coconut
  • Construction paper
  • Jelly beans or small gumdrops
  • 1  cup shredded coconut
  • Green food color

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and cool cake as directed on box for two 8-inch or 9-inch round pans.
  2. 2Reserve 1 layer for another use or to make a second bunny. Cut 1 layer in half as shown in diagram. Put halves together with frosting to form body. Place cake upright on cut edge on tray.
  3. 3Cut out a notch about one-third of the way up one end of body to form head (small end) as shown in diagram. Attach half of cutout piece from tail with toothpicks. Frost with remaining frosting, rounding body on sides. Sprinkle with 1 cup coconut. Cut ears from construction paper; press into notch on top. Use jelly beans for eyes and nose.
  4. 4Shake 1 cup coconut and 3 drops food color in tightly covered jar until evenly tinted. Surround bunny with tinted coconut. Add additional jelly beans if desired. Store loosely covered.

It is hard to tell in the picture, but I think the head is just what's left in front of your notch, not a separate piece. The ears go in the notch; everything in front of the ears is face.

FOUND THE DIAGRAM -- thanks to previous commentors. But WHERE is the head of the bunny supposed to come from? Cut the cake in half; cut a notch out for the tail; then where do I get the bunny's head, AND where is the diagram for how to shape it???
