Easter Bunny Cake

EASTER CAKE RECIPES

1 (18.5 ounce) box cake mix (flavor desired)
Flaked coconut
Food coloring
Red licorice whips
Gumdrops or jelly beans

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Prepare cake as directed on the box. Pour batter into two 9-inch round cake pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Cool in pans for 10 minutes.

Remove cakes to racks and let cool completely.

Cut ears and bowtie out of one of the rounds. Cut petal shape from top to bottom on right side, then the left of the one round cake. These two cutouts will be the ears, the remaining center piece is the bow tie.

Arrange the whole cake layer on a long, flat serving platter, adding the ears on top and the bowtie at the bottom.

Ice the cake with your favorite frosting. A fluffy 7-Minute Frosting would be nice. Sprinkle plain flaked coconut over the bunny face. Dye a small amount of coconut pink for inside the ears and the bowtie, if desired. Use red licorice for whiskers and gumdrops or jelly beans for the eyes and nose.

BUNNY CUPCAKES

EASTER CAKE RECIPES

1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist yellow or white cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
Pink food color
2 containers Betty Crocker Whipped fluffy white frosting
5 large marshmallows
Pink sugar
Candy decorations and sprinkles, as desired

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (325 degrees F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and cool cake as directed on box for 24 cupcakes.

Stir a few drops pink food color into 1 container of frosting. Frost cupcakes with pink frosting.

Spoon 1 heaping teaspoonful white frosting on center of each cupcake. To make ears, cut each large marshmallow crosswise into 5 pieces with kitchen scissors. Using scissors, cut through center of each marshmallow piece to within 1/4 inch of edge. Separate to look like bunny ears; press 1 side of cut edges into pink sugar, flattening slightly. Arrange on each of the white frosting mounds as shown. Use candy decorations and sprinkles to make eyes, nose and whiskers as shown. Store loosely covered.

If you have only one 12-cup muffin pan, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Then bake the rest of the batter in the cooled muffin pan, adding 1 or 2 minutes to the bake time.
