Let's add a little Easter cheer to today's Party Tip. This is an oldie but a goodie. It was my late grandmother Huguette's party tip (let's just say, I inherited my love for parties from her,
my mom and godmother).
Every Easter she made a Bunny Cake. It's not only easy to make and easy to eat but... it's also pretty darn adorable. It's so cute to look at that nobody wants to cut a piece of cake! Really, I'm not kidding! (speaking of "cute", look how cute my mom looks posing with the bunny last Easter!)
Here are a few quick easy tips on how to make this cute cake:
- Add cake mix (either boxed or homemade) to 1 8-inch round cake pan and 1 4-inch round cake pan.
- Bake as indicated on the cake box mix or as indicated in your recipe.
- Once the cakes are ready, let cool on a cooling rack.
- Cut the 8-inch and 4-inch cakes in half.
- Add frosting of your choice in the middle of the 8-inch halves and then do the same with the 4-inch halves.
- Then, stand up 8-inch halves on a plate. This will be your bunny's body. Place the 4-inch halves at the front of the body so that it looks like a head attached to a body.
- Once you've placed the cakes, generously apply frosting of your choice to the entire cake. White frosting is always the popular choice!
- Sprinkle coconut all over your cake (you can add food coloring to the coconut beforehand in a separate bowl. This will add color to your cake).
- After you've sprinkled the coconut, let the fun begin! Add the jelly beans for the eyes and nose and pretzels or black licorice for the whiskers.
- Also, add a few marshmallows at the back of the cake to create a puffy tail. You can even do the same with whip cream!
- With the leftover jelly beans and coconut you can add it to the plate to spice up the Easter décor.
- Lastly, using construction or card stock paper, cut out 2 ears and ask your kids to color them. Once complete, add the ears into the cake.
How adorable is that? Now go and make some"bunny" a cake! :)
