Ingredients
Cake Base:
- 2 8-inch round cakes (boxed mix or homemade), fully cooled
Frosting:
- 2 cups buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Bunny Fur:
- Shredded coconut
Color Touch:
- Pink or red food coloring/gel
Sweet Decorations:
- Sprinkles and jelly beans
Instructions
- Shape the Bunny: Take one round cake and cut out the bunny ears and bow tie using the cake pan as a guide. The other cake will remain whole as the face.
- Assemble the Bunny: Arrange the ears and bow tie around the whole cake to form a bunny face.
- Prepare the Frosting: Mix some of the buttercream with food coloring to create pink frosting for the bunny’s ears and face details.
- Frost the Cake: Spread the plain buttercream evenly over the entire bunny face. Don’t worry about perfection—coconut will cover it!
- Add the Fur: Sprinkle shredded coconut over the frosted face and ears for a fluffy bunny texture.
- Decorate Creatively: Use sprinkles and jelly beans to add facial details and embellish the bow tie. Pipe pink frosting to highlight the ears and facial features.
- Enjoy the Festivity: Serve and delight in this adorable Easter treat!
Notes
- Make ahead! You can bake the cakes a day in advance and assemble them on the day of serving.
- For a coconut-free option, skip the shredded coconut and use textured frosting techniques instead.
- Want extra flavor? Use flavored extracts in your frosting, such as vanilla, almond, or coconut.
- Get creative! Swap jelly beans for chocolate chips or mini marshmallows for decoration.
