Easter Bunny Cake Instructions
- Damask Vanilla or Confetti Cake (This works equally well with our Gluten Free Vanilla Cake or Gluten Free Confetti Cake.)
- Damask Vanilla Frosting
- Sweetened Coconut Flakes (optional)
- Spring Colored Jelly Beans
- Candy laces (strawberry or licorice, optional)
Prepare the Vanilla or Confetti Cake as written on the recipe. As the cake cools, prepare the Vanilla Frosting as written. Once the cake has cooled cut one of the cake layers as shown below:
Place the second cake layer (uncut) on a long platter or cake board. Frost the top and side of the cake. Then, place the ears just above the circle cake so that the tips of the ears are touching the circular cake. Next, turn the bow 90 degrees and place it underneath the circular cake. Frost the top and sides of the ears and bow. If you’re using coconut flakes, cover the top and sides of the cake. Decorate the ears with pink jelly beans, give the bunny blue or green eyes, and a red nose with jelly beans, and decorate the bow with multi-colored jelly beans. To finish (if using), cut the candy laces into 2-inch strands for your Easter Bunny’s whiskers. Happy Easter!
