Here comes Peter cotton-tail...

Grandma is an amazing lady, if you couldn't tell by now. She's always busy with a project or something special!

A couple of days ago, she told the boys they would
get to help her make a BUNNY cake for Easter!
So that's what they did today!
And I'm going to share just how to do it!
Super fun & easy. :)

You start off with a white cake mix, mixed together,
and poured into two 8-inch round pans,
and baked accordingly.
While waiting on the baking & the cooling, go ahead and grab
your shredded coconut and color it green with some food coloring!

Caleb was totally fascinated with this process.
(So was I, haha!)
Then, after the cake is completely cooled down, you slice each cake into 2 halves.
And cut one of those four, into 2 quarters.
Get your yummy, sugary white icing, and lather it on two of the halves!
Stack the halves on top of each other..
Now get your quartered pieces and use them to shape your head and tail.
To look like this!
Grandma made sure they stuck by using toothpicks to keep them together.
So genius! :)
Then take more icing and cover it!
And then pat more shredded coconut all over it to
resemble bunny fur!
Then you get some pink construction paper, and make ears!
And get those jellybeans ready!
All you need are 2 pink, and a black!
You also need a few other various ones for decoration..
Add the ears, and jellynbeans!
Then get your coconut grass, and throw some jellybeans over it!
And here it is, Our perfect little bunny cake!
The boys loved it, and had a great time helping Granny make it!
I had a great time watching and learning from this amazing woman
I get to call my Grandma. She is so talented, and most of all, so loving!
Thanks, Grandma! :)

Hey! I'm Cris, visiting from NFF, I love the bunny cake! My great grandmother made something similar to that with me when I was about six. It wasn't as near as cute at that cake, but I'm loving the family memories!
