Weekend Cooking: somebunny is having fun!
 I did not make this cake!
My neighbor Sue baked it. You remember Sue, the ultimate hostess, like Martha Stewart (but much nicer! and she’s never done jail time!). Those genes have passed through her family - her niece Monica decorated the bunny.
Isn’t it wonderful!?
I took this picture just before my Little Guy cut into the left ear … ouch!
A quick primer:
- bake two 8- or 9-inch round layer cakes
- allow to cool, then cut one according to the diagram (I was able to draw that; which explains why the ears are different sizes)
- arrange bunny face, ears, and tie on platter, then decorate to your heart’s content
- enjoy!

I did not make this cake!
that is painfully cute…and pretty easy once you break it down. Love it!!
Such a charming cake design. This takes me back to when the children were little. I remember making a cake shaped and decorated like a school bus. Great fun. A waggish M. Stewart comment, which she richly deserves!
My aunt used to make these cakes every year when I was growing up. She topped it with coconut so it looked like a furry bunny
Oh wow. How absolutely adorable. That looks kind of easy … until you put decoration things in my hand. I end up being in the school of “if one is pretty, 20 zillion will be even prettier.” LOL.
It’s adorable. Making the cake doesn’t look all that hard, but decorating it is a whole different story.
That looks like something kids would love,and even better it looks relatively easy to do! Well done to Sue!
The cake is so sweet looking, and probably tasting too. I admire clever bakers like your friend.
So cute! *twitches nose* Wish I could taste it
.
This cake looks like something the kids could have lots of fun helping with. It is so cute and I bet it tastes great.
That is so cute! Although I would have been tempted to nibble his ear too
How adorable!
That bunny cake is soooooooooooo cute!
That does look pretty easy and very cute! I wish I had a crafty neighbor.
Thanks for the diagram. I’ll have to keep this in mind for the next birthday cake I make!
Oh that is easy! A good trick to keep in mind
Thanks for sharing. I think the cake looks lovely and must have tasted that way too.
That must be the cutest Easter cake ever. Love it!!!!
Awesome.
