Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 2 cake rounds ((8" or 9", baked and cooled completely))
  • (1) 14 oz. package of coconut flakes (14 oz, coconut flakes)
  • 2 tubs white frosting
  • jelly beans
  • green food coloring
  • black color gels
  • paper and scissors

Instruction

  • Place about 1 cup of coconut into a resealable bag.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of water to a small bowl and add 5 drops of green food coloring to the bowl. Pour the water into the bag of coconut and seal shut. Knead the bag to evenly distribute the green food coloring onto the coconut. Set aside.
  • To create the body of the bunny, cut one cake round in half. Frost one section and press it together.
  • Place the flat side onto a cutting board and cut off about 1/4 of the end to create the head.
  • Add frosting to a plate and place the body onto the frosting in the plate.
  • Trim the head piece as shown and attach to the body of the cake on the plate with frosting.
  • With the other cake round, cut 1/3 of the end and then cut in half to create 2 hind quarters. Add frosting to one side of the cut piece of cake and attach to the body on the plate. Repeat for the other side.
  • Frost the entire bunny cake with white frosting and sprinkle with white coconut, pressing it into the sides as necessary to cover.
  • Spoon green coconut onto the plate for grass. Add jelly bean piles to the grass and add black eyes and a pink nose to the bunny. Use black gel to add whiskers.
  • Use scissors to cut paper into an ear shape. Fold the ear in the center to crease and tuck into the top of the bunny's head. If necessary add a small knife slit into the top of the head to accommodate the ears.
