A cake I created for the In-Store bakeries for their cake flip cards...years ago. I am not the one doing those now.
This cake is designed for the beginner or someone who doesn't have a lot of cake decorating training.

NEEDED
8 1/2 x 11 inch (or 8 x 12") cake pan
1-layer 8" round cake pan.
#E-5 Bunny face with paws HERE

Pre-made #2D drop flowers:

To make the flowers: Use royal icing, have it fairly stiff but be sure you beat it a long time - until it loses the shine and stands in peaks.
You must either drop the tip into the bag without using a coupler or use the large coupler with a large bag and the bag opening cut larger to fit that.
To do: Press the tip firmly on the table and turn a half turn as you squeeze out icing...both together. STOP squeezing and lift away. Let dry a few hours. It takes about 24 hrs for them to dry totally. You could carefully lift them off with the small tapered angled spatula and place on the cake sooner if you are careful.

#E-27 'Happy Easter' script
White buttercream icing - Premade HERE
Royal Icing or Buttercream recipes available HERE
Buttercream Icing colors: white, pink and green
1 marshmallow

METHOD
Ice rectangle cake
Prepare 8" round cake: Bake and don't cut off the hump. Cut layer in half with icing between. EASIER - Use soft-thin consistency icing. Place the flat sides together.
Place bunny cake on iced 9x13 cake
TIPS: Using tip #234, pipe 'fur' on the bunny. Add a marshmallow and pipe 'fur' over it.
Using tip #233, pipe green grass all around bunny. Add paws and 2D flowers.
Place 'Happy Easter' script

Top border is wide curved shell, every other one larger than the other.
Bottom border is tip #19 pink scroll with tip 67 green leaves between each scroll.

OTHER DECORATIONS COULD BE USED:
Bunny could be decorated using tip #21.
COCONUT: Ice bunny with my recipe for 'Meringue Icing (like 7-minute), available on my icing recipes page, available HERE
Then press flaked coconut on bunny for 'fur'. This icing will remain stick so that coconut will stick to the icing. It is wonderfully easy to decorate with and tastes great. Perfect at Easter because of the light-not so sweet taste.
