When I posted my Easter menu, I didn't include a dessert. For at least the last 12 years, I've made a bunny shaped cake like the one shown above. This year, I was going to make something different, but my plans changed.
A couple of days ago, my husband stopped at the grocery on his way home from work. He noticed jelly beans were on sale and bought a bag. When he handed me the bag, he said he bought them for the bunny cake. This cake is such a family tradition, there's no way I could make a different dessert for Easter.
The cake is made with two 8-inch round cake pans. To save time, I use a cake mix and store bought frosting. Coconut is sprinkled on the frosting to mimic the bunny's fur. Licorice, tinted coconut, jelly beans or any other small colorful candy is used to decorate the cake. Click here to find the directions.

Very cute! I like the coconut as fur. So sweet that your husband bought those jelly beans just for the bunny cake.

ReplyDeleteAdelina, this cake is a great way to let kids help in the kitchen. When my son was younger, he loved to help decorate the cake. The first year he helped, it wasn't physically possible to put one more jelly bean on that cake! Thanks for hosting the party and for the opportunity to share the recipe:)
