I love doing different decorative things any chance I get – and that includes making baked goods that add something special to the occassion or event. In this time of the year  – Easter Bunny cake will add to the festive table and holiday decor. As you will see, it doesn’t have to be difficult and complicated – and to make the easiest way possible it is OK to use cake mix and ready made frosting. Here are simple directions -try it  and you will have a cake kids will love and your family and friends will admire!
Ingredients:
- 1Â package yellow cake mix
- 3 3/4 cups flaked coconut
- 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla frosting
- 30 small jellybeans
- 4 red licorice
Directions:
- Heat oven and prepare two 9 inch round baking pans as directed on cake box.
- Prepare cake batter with as directed on package adding in 1/2 cup of coconut.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
