Bunny Cake
Transform an ordinary 9x13-inch cake into a bunny cake that both children
and adults will find delightful. Perfect for birthday parties, Easter, or to
celebrate spring. No fancy decorations or equipment are needed. Just cut,
frost with Neon-tinted frosting, and top with tinted coconut.
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
1 9 x 13-inch cake, baked and cooled
McCormick® Assorted NEON! Food Colors & Egg Dye
1 to 2 tubs ready-to-spread white or vanilla frosting
1 package (14 ounces) flaked coconut
miscellaneous decorations as desired, such as M&Ms, gumdrops,
marshmallows, licorice whips
Directions:
1. Cut cake in half horizontally, with bottom half slightly larger
than top half. Round top corners of bottom half of cake to form body of bunny.
2. Cut top half of cake in half vertically. Cut a 3- to 3
1/2-inch circle from one of these halves to form the head. Cut the remaining
half into half horizontally, forming two rectangles for the ears. Round off
one end of each of the rectangles to shape ears.
3. Cut out small circle from scraps to form tail, or use a
marshmallow. Use M&M's, gumdrops, licorice whips, or other small candies to
form eye, nose, and mouth.
4. Assemble cake as shown and frost with Neon-tinted frosting
(stir about 7 drops of desired Neon color into canned frosting.) Tint coconut*
the same color as tinted frosting and gently pat onto frosted cake. Sprinkle
Neon Green-tinted coconut around bottom of bunny for grass effect. (If desired
coconut may be omitted.)
*To tint coconut:
Cake - put about 2 cups packaged coconut in resealable plastic bag.
Squeeze 5 or 6 drops of desired Neon color into bag - use more or less until
desired color is achieved. Shake until color is evenly distributed. Gently
pat coconut onto frosted cake.
Grass - put about 1 cup packaged coconut in resealable plastic bag.
Squeeze 5 drops of Neon Green Food Color into bag and shake until color is
evenly distributed.
Cut the cake along the lines below:
