Easy Easter Cake

By
Home Stager

Here is an Easter Bunny Cake that I've been making for years.  My Mom used to make it when I was a kid.  It could not be easier.  You just use one box of yellow cake mix in two 9 inch round cake pans. 

 

When the cakes have cooled cut two pieces out of one of them for the ears - this will leave you with a bow tie shape.  

 

Arrange the bunny on a tray then frost.  I piped the icing on to the cake using a pastry bag and floral tip, but you can just frost it using a knife.  I have also seen it covered in coconut.  

 

Whenever I make this cake people love it!  They think I went to so much trouble, but really it couldn't be easier!

 

Here is a link to Google images where you can see some other cakes using the same technique:

EVERYONE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY EASTER!!!!!!

That cake looks so yummy! Do you deliver?  There's still one baking day until the bunny arrives...

KK - One of the Realtors that I work with is trying to convince me to go into a Real Estate catering service - they want someone to cater Realtor open houses and their weekly meetings.  I took that as an invitation to market my home staging business.  I drop off baked goods every now and then - I set them up in the kitchen with my business materials.  You gotta stay in their minds!

Who knew baking could be such a good marketing tool.  

Have a wonderful Easter.

Maybe you should take them up on it, Maureen!  Too bad you didn't take orders from AR members, mine could be on my way to me right now :)  Thanks for the adorable cake!

Maureen, My mom used to make that cake too. Oh what great memories. That is a wonderful idea to drop off the baked goodies to the open houses. You go girl.

Maureen...package the cake with the replacement batch of cookies. There must be some misunderstanding my check could not have bounced as I did not send one-you were bribing me remember?

My grandmother use to make us bunny cakes. I haven't seen so many in years as I've seen this year. It's nice to see the return of innocents even in the form of a cake.

I'm so glad that this cake could take so many people back.  I really have fond memories of it also.

One of those bunny cakes on the link looks like a rat! Did you see the brown one?

I remember Daddy got a bikini cake for his 20-something birthday. I was about 5 and I probably remember it because there were so many pictures of Daddy with the cake. Probably not the memories you were hoping to invoke, Maureen, but it WAS a cake made from judicious slicing and icing.

Cheers,
