How to Make an Easter Bunny Cake

This classic recipe couldn’t be any easier to put together. Grab the kids and have some fun in the kitchen creating your very own bunny!

1. Bake two round cake layers according to the instructions on the box. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling the bunny face.
2. Place one of the round cakes on a large serving platter. This will be the bunny’s face.
3. Cut the other cake according the the cutting guide below. Place the cut pieces above the bunny’s face for the bunny ears and the middle piece below the face for the bow tie.
4. Use black frosting to create the bunny’s eyes and mouth. You can also use candy to create the bunny features.
5. Frost the entire bunny face, including the ears with colored frosting. We used pink frosting with a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
