Today is the day of our annual Easter egg hunt! I still have a lot to do, like make deviled eggs, prep the Easter Bunny craft and hide over 100 eggs! Luckily, I made the Easter Bunny cake yesterday with my girls. One less thing to do today. I’d never made an Easter Bunny cake before, so I was pleased with how it turned out.

Here’s What You Need to Make an Easter Bunny Cake:

• Bunny Pull-a-Part Cupcake Mold by Create-n-Celebrate (I found it at Target.)
• Cooking spray
• Cake mix
• Vegetable Oil
• 3 Eggs
• Icing with decorating tip (white, pink and purple)

Here’s How to Make an Easter Bunny Cake:

1. Spray the bunny cupcake mold with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box. No scratch cakes for me!

(We used Pillsbury Funfetti cake mix because we thought the pastel specks were festive.)

3. Spoon the cake mix into the bunny cupcake mold, but only fill each segment half way.

4. Put the bunny cupcake mold on a cookie sheet and bake the cake according to the instructions on the box.

5. Once the cake has cooled, use a butter knife to separate the cake from the edges of the bunny mold.

6. Bend the mold inside out to get each piece of Easter Bunny cake out of the mold.

(The instructions on the bunny cupcake mold suggest you can flip the entire mold upside down and each segment of the Easter Bunny cake will come out. I felt more comfortable taking each piece of the bunny cake out one at a time.)

7. Arrange the pieces of cake into the shape of a bunny as they were in the cupcake mold.

8. Decorate the Easter Bunny cake with white frosting for the body, pink frosting for the ears and nose, and purple frosting for the eye, whiskers and outline of the bunny’s leg.

(I let my girls decorate the Easter Bunny cake as they wanted so it doesn’t quite look like the Easter Bunny cake pictured on the cupcake mold package, but it still looks great!)

There’s no cake cutting required with this Easter Bunny cake because although it looks like one cake, it’s really twelve cupcakes arranged together in the shape of a bunny. Now after the kids are done with the Easter egg hunt, they’ll be able to pick a piece of the Easter Bunny cake they want and just take it. My seven-year-old has already claimed the bunny’s tail! Since parents like cake too, and there won’t be enough Easter Bunny cake left for them, I made Easter bunny cupcakes too.
