Yummy Bunny

Our next-door neighbor growing up was the super-mom you wish you could be.  She was always coming up with creative ideas to keep all the kids in the neighborhood happy and entertained.  So, of course, every Spring, she made a bunny cake. Am I suggesting? Yes, really its a simple creation that is sure to reveal your inner super hero.

1. Bake two nine-inch round sheet cakes, any flavor, from scratch or mix.
2. The first round will be the head of the bunny (A). Place this on a large foil wrapped tray.
3. Out of the second round, cut two long rabbit ears along the edges (B).  The middle portion becomes the bunny’s bowtie (C).
4. Place the ears on top of the bunny’s head and the bowtie below.
5. Frost away! White works well for the head and the outer rims of the ears.  Pink on the inner ears and brown (chocolate) or even red for the bowtie.  Again, you can make your frosting from scratch or buy it pre-made.
6. Use jellybeans, gumdrops and licorice to create the eyes, nose and mouth.
7. Once you are pleased with your creation, sprinkle some Easter grass around the tray and add peeps, eggs, gumdrops and other Easter delights to your liking.
8. Spring is here!
