VERANIL'S BLOG: How to Make a Bunny Cake

Thinking of baking and decorating an easy cake.....TRY THIS

This is what you need:

Shredded coconut (Not the toasted kind. It has to be white)

Purple, red and green jelly candies (or you can use fondant in the same colors)

White buttercream icing

Spatula (to spread the icing all over your cake)

Turntable

Cake board (should be the same size as your cake)

Rolling pin

Granulated sugar (to prevent stickiness when working with jelly candies)

Cardboard ears

Scissors

2 popsicle sticks

Round cake-6×3 (in any flavor)

Black edible marker

See tutorials after the cut...........

Step 1:

Place your cake on a cakeboard. Now, place this cake on your turntable. Use a spatula to cover your cake in buttercream icing.

Step 2:

Cover your cake in shredded coconut. The buttercream acts like glue and the coconut easily sticks to the cream.

Step 3:

Cut out 2 cardboard ears. Try using the cardboard from an old gift box. Make sure they are the same size.

Step 4:

Use a spatula to cover the ears in buttercream icing. Keep aside.

Step 5:

In a ziploc bag, add some coconut and a few drops of red gel coloring. Mix it well until the coconut becomes “pinkish.”

Step 6:

Now, cover the center of the bunny ears with pink coconut and cover the outer edges with white coconut. Your ears are ready!

Note: Don’t put alot of coconut or buttercream icing on these ears. You don’t want them to become too heavy…

Step 7:

Push two popsicle sticks on the side of your cake. The cardboard ears will be attached here.

Step 8:

Use a glue gun to stick the cardboard ears on top of the popsicle sticks. Make sure the glue does not touch your cake.

Note: You could have glued the popsicle sticks to the cardboard ears earlier and just pushed that into the sides of your cake. But, when I did that, alot of the coconut fell off and it got messy…that may have been due to the pressure that was used to push the ears into the cake.

Sep 9:

Take out your purple jelly candy and use a rolling pin to flatten it. If it gets too sticky, sprinkle some granulated sugar on your work surface (not powdered sugar).

Step 10:

Use scissors to cut out 2 oval shapes. Make sure they are about the same size. These will be the eyes of your bunny. You can also use a black edible marker draw to make little eyeballs for each eye.

Step 11:

Use a black edible marker to draw eyeballs on each eye. Make other facial features with jelly candy in the same manner… Red triangular nose, red lips, purple whiskers, green eyebrows.
