Every Bunny Loves Cake!

Easter was approaching and I was in charge of bringing a dessert to Mom & Dad's for supper on Good Friday.  I wanted cake but not just a regular cake, I wanted something special.  Pinterest to the rescue!  I found a cute bunny cake to make.

I made two round cakes using the recipe on the Pamela's Baking Mix website.  (The recipe only makes one layer so I doubled it.) 

I left one cake whole. 

Then I cut the other one into two ears and a bowtie.  I ended up having to modify the ears a little so that the cake would fit on my board but it turned out fine.

I made an icing out of Earth's Balance Shortening, icing sugar, vanilla and almond milk.  I iced the whole cake with a thin layer of icing (a crumb coating) and then added the other pieces and iced them too.  I let it sit for an hour so the thin layer of icing set up and then I iced the cakes as a whole.

Then for the fun part, putting the candy on!  I used Unreal candy coated chocolates (just like Smarties) for the eyes and the bowtie, Enjoy Life chocolate chips for the mouth, India Tree pink sprinkles for the ears & yellow for inside of the bowtie and Glutino pretzels for the whiskers.

 

 

HAPPY EASTER!
