I am 24-years-old and I still enjoy making and decorating Easter bunny cakes. 😀
Do you still get an Easter basket?
After a homecooked dinner of beef tenderloin, broccoli and sweet potato casserole, and a nice evening boat ride with the family, my mom, sister and I got busy in the kitchen creating our first of two Easter bunny cakes.
We debated on what cake flavor to make for a while, but eventually decided to make Bunny Number One a carrot cake bunny.
We poured the cake batter into two round cake pans to bake before waiting what seemed forever for them to cool so we could frost ’em.
We then cut into one cake so we had two ears and a bunny bow tie.
Naked Bunny
We frosted the cakes with cream cheese frosting (and practically made ourselves stick from all the finger-licks) and gave our little bunny eyes (with two Rolos + two chocolate ships), a nose (strawberry Starburst jelly beans) and whiskers (rainbow twists Twizzlers).
Yay! I have a face!
We debated making the bunny “fluffy” with shredded coconut, but decided to save that for bunny cake number two.
Poor Bunny Number One didn’t last too long and lost his bow tie and half of his ears rather quickly.
My Sister Slicing the Cake
I enjoyed a nice, big piece of Bunny Number One, as well as a couple small slivers before bed. 😉
My Slice
By the end of the night, Bunny Number One looked more like a cat!
Bunny ---> Kitty
He sure was tasty!
Bunny Cake
Ingredients:
- Cake, prepared in two round pans
- White icing
- Decorations for facial features and bow tie
Directions:
Cut ears and bow tie out of one of the round cakes by slicing a two even semi-circles on either side of the cake. Place ears and bow tie above and below remaining round cake and ice the cakes completely.
Decorate as you see fit, adding eyes, a nose, whiskers, a smile and funky color to the bunny’s bow tie. Enjoy!

That is SUCH a cute idea. I am going to save this and maybe make one next year with Makenzie. I love it!
Oh my gosh, so fun! And yes, I pretty much demand that my mom still give me an Easter basket…and I’m 27!
Awww…Mr. Bunny is adorable!
poor mr. bunny is no longer with us… i just devoured the last of him for breakfast. 🙁
I was about to comment how cute he was, even at the end of the night – but now he’s nooo longer with us 🙁 haha.
RIP bunny cake.
I am 27 and still get an Easter basket, and my parents still hide Easter eggs. 🙂 We eat the bunny cake every year!
My mom and I make the same bunny cake every year!!!! That’s so cool t see someone else who still does the same thing!!!
Happy Easter!
Awww, my aunt has made a bunny cake just like that as long as I can remember each Easter. And yes, I still get a basket, but instead of candy, I now get things like lunas, larabars, fruit, but I still get a couple reeses eggs! 😉
haha how much fun?! xx
My mom makes our bunny cake like that EVERY YEAR!
So cute & we totally put coconut on it to make it fluffy!
SO cute!! I wish I still got an Easter basket 🙁 My mom stopped getting one for me a couple of years ago. I’m thinking about buying myself some Starburst Jelly Beans and a chocolate bunny today, though…just for old time’s sake 😛

No easter basket for me anymore but we have fun hidding the easter eggs for our nieces and nephews.
So cute! I don’t get an easter basket anymore…sad! But I am definitely down for making a bunny cake!! YUM!
