2 Round Cake Pans
Mixing bowls
Sheet Pan or Large Baking Sheet

Ingredients

1 box Cake Mix
White Frosting
Pink Frosting
Green Frosting
Mini Chocolate Eggs
Black Decorating Icing

Instructions

Make the Batter: Use your favorite box cake mix and pour the batter evenly between two greased round cake pans.
Bake the Cakes: Bake the cakes according to the box directions
Cut the Cakes: Set one of the round cakes aside; this will be the bunny's face. Cut the second round cake so that you have two equal sized ovals to use as the ears and the leftover part in the middle is shaped like a bowtie.
Assemble: Place the cake pieces on a large baking sheet, arranging them so that it looks like a bunny with a bow tie.
Decorate: Scoop the white frosting into a piping bag with a star tip, so when you frost the cake it looks like fur. Fill the ears with pink frosting and use your favorite color of frosting for the bow tie. We used black decorating icing to draw the mouth, eyes, and whiskers.
