This came from an old magazine clipping that was among my
mother's collection. It was obviously a recipe developed
to promote sales of Pillsbury products and I'm sure it
could probably be improved on for taste. But the methods
given for assembling and decorating this cake are really
quite clever.

This looks like fun! I think I'm going to make one.

You have hit on a topic that forces me out of the dark
corners of the room and from lurker to poster. (By the way,
I enjoy most of the posts on the ng). My mother used to make
a bunny cake that I've never see anywhere else. I suspect
she found the pattern in an old Good Housekeeping magazine
(old being 1950's).

Using whatever layer cake recipe you desire make one 9'"
round layer and using the remainder of the batter make
cupcakes. Cut the round cake in half and stand up on the cut
edges to form the body of the bunny (frost between the
layers). Cut a cupcake in half and use the large end to form
the bunny head and the small end for the bunny tail
attaching both to the body with frosting. Frost the bunny -
my mother always made one white bunny cake using a white
frosting and coconut (which gave the appearance of fur) and
a brown (chocolate with coconut) bunny cake. Use
construction paper to make the ears and carefully insert
them into the body of the cake where the head joins. Use
jellybeans for the eyes and nose and pipe cleaners for the
whiskers (in recent years I've used wooden toothpicks for
the whiskers). With the remaining cupcakes make Easter
baskets with jelly bean eggs and a construction paper handle
and arrange them around the bunny.

Too cute.

My mom made this exact same thing EVERY easter! Wow, that
brings back memories!
