Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 package Yellow Cake mix
1 cup water
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

For the Frosting and Decorations:

2 containers white frosting (16 ounces each)
Light Pink Food Coloring
3 cups Flaked Coconut
Red Licorice Rope
Jelly Beans

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray.
Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake according to the package directions for 9-inch round pans.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10–15 minutes. Remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Place one cake on a cutting board. Cut two convex-shaped pieces from opposite sides to form the bunny ears. The remaining center piece will form the bow tie.
Place the second cake on a large serving platter for the bunny’s head. Arrange the ears above the cake and the bow tie below it.
Place half of one container of frosting in a mixing bowl. Add pink food coloring and stir until light pink.
Transfer the pink frosting to a piping bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe the frosting into the center of each bunny ear.
Frost the remaining cake with the white frosting. Gently press the coconut onto the white frosting.
Use black jelly beans for the eyes and a pink jelly bean for the nose.
Use red licorice rope to create the mouth and whiskers.
Decorate the bow tie with the remaining jelly beans. Serve and enjoy.
