I found the idea for this cake on Pinterest and adapted it a little to make it my own. There is nothing difficult about the actual cake recipe, but the fun is in the decorating!
Ingredients:
Store-bought cake mix to make a 2-layer cake (I chose to make a Funfetti cake)
1 container of white frosting
Green food coloring
1 cup of shredded coconut
6-8 "Robin's Egg" malted milk balls (alternately, you could use large colored jelly beans)
Small-medium sized chocolate bunny
Instructions:
Bake the cake according the to recipe and instructions included on the packaging, if using a store-bought cake mix. Be sure to divide the cake batter into two, and use circular baking pans so that you will end up with the "cakes" to be layered.
When the cake is baked and then fully cooked, you are going to mix a few drops of the green food coloring into the white frosting and stir until fully mixed. Now, frost the cake as usual, stacking the two layers.
In a small bowl, add the shredded coconut and a few more drops of the food coloring. When the coconut absorbs the green color, gently press the coconut pieces around the whole cake and on top of it. Now for the final touches - place the chocolate bunny on top of the cake, in the center, and around the bunny, place the "Robin's eggs" or jelly beans on top of the cake.
This cute cake will impress your guests - enjoy!
