What you will need:

(If using cardboard, cover the rectangle with foil, parchment paper, or plastic wrap.)


Mix the cake mix, pour in two 8” round cake pans. Bake per package directions. Let cool thoroughly.

Place one round cake on the serving tray (or cardboard). Cut the remaining cake layer as shown below.


Frost the cake. Cover the bunny face and ears with coconut. Color about 1 cup (or more) of coconut with red or green dry Jello, or food coloring. Use this to cover the bunny tie. Sprinkle a bit of pink/red tinted coconut in the middle of the bunny cake ears.

Use gumdrops or jelly beans for the eyes. Slice and shape a pink gumdrop into a triangle for the nose.

Cut a thin strips (2” to 4” in length) from a piece of the licorice, and use these for the bunny whiskers and mouth shape.

(Note: Keep the eyes, whiskers, and mouth secured, dip the side that will be against the cake in whipped topping and place on cake.)

Sprinkle green tinted coconut around the edge of the serving platter, and place jelly beans here and there to decorate. You can add small chocolate candies or fresh, edible flowers, if desired.
