Ingredients

For the Cake: 
  • 1 package yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
For the Frosting and Decorations: 
  • 2 containers white frosting (16 ounces each)
  • Light Pink Food Coloring
  • 3 cups flaked coconut
  • Red Licorice Rope 
  • Jelly Beans

Instructions

For the Cake: 
    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 2 9 inch round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray. 
  2. Prepare the cake mix in a large mixing bowl based on the package instructions. 
  3. Pour the batter evenly into the cake pans. 
  4. Bake the cakes based on the package instruction for 9 inch round pans. 
  5. Allow the cakes to cool for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. 
  6. Gently remove the cakes from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Let the cakes cool completely at room temperature. 
  7. Place one of the cakes on a cutting board. Cut 2 convex-shaped ears from each side of the cake and the center should resemble a bow tie. 
  8. Place the other cake on a large serving platter. Place the ears above this cake and the bow tie of the bunny at the bottom of the serving platter. 
 For the Frosting and Decorations: 
  1. Place half of one of the containers of frosting in a mixing bowl.  Add pink food coloring to the frosting and stir until it’s a light pink color. 
  2. Place the pink frosting in a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the frosting into the center of the ears of the bunny. 
  3. Carefully frost the remaining of the cake with the remaining white frosting. Gently press the coconut onto the white frosting on the cake. 
  4. Use black jelly beans for the eyes of the bunny and a pink jelly bean for the nose of the bunny. 
  5. Use the red licorice rope to make the mouth and the whiskers of the bunny. 
  6. Decorate the bow tie with the remaining jelly beans.  
  7. Then the cake is ready to serve and enjoy!
