Bunny cake success

Do you remember this cookbook? As a kid, these were the coveted Birthday and Holiday cakes.There are some for almost every holiday, and lots of fun ideas for birthday parties.Since we are home, I figured it’s time to start trying some of them out.We started with the Easter bunny cake – there’s actually two versions in the book, we did the harder one.The cake recipe is pretty good, I put a lot less sugar than they were asking for and it turned out fine. I used butter instead of shortening. It’s a good sturdy cake for these type of recipes.The icing was pretty gross – I’m not sure if they meant icing sugar, but with regular sugar it never quite took and I had to add icing sugar to thicken it. I would definitely just make a different icing.It was pretty easy to follow the directions and cut the cake accordingly. That part is really well done and explained in the book. it was a lot of fun to decorate, we didn’t exactly have everything we needed but we made due with what we had at home.I think it turned out really well. It’s cute and very Eastery. I didn’t put coconut over the whole thing as my family hates coconut. The rest I followed pretty closely.You need a good Easter cake, this is a fun one for sure! And you get a great activity for the kids out of it, there’s even math involved 🙂
