    Hip Hop Bunny Cake


    1 Golden Vanilla cake mix, prepare according to package directions
    1 package (14 oz.) coconut, divided
    1 container (12 oz.) Whipped Vanilla frosting
    food coloring - red, green
    jelly beans
    shoestring licorice


    Prepare cake mix according to package directions resulting in 2 baked 9-inch round cake layers. Allow to cool.

    Measure 2 1/2 cups coconut and set aside. Divide remaining coconut into separate containers with lid or zip lock type bag as follows:
    3/4 cup to be tinted pink, 2 cups tinted green. To tint coconut, add 1 to 2 drops food coloring, close bag or cover with lid and shake to tint coconut the desired color. Set aside.

    Dust cutting board and an 11- by 17-inch jelly roll pan with powdered sugar. Place one round cake layer in the center of the jelly roll pan to serve as the bunny's head.

    Place remaining layer on cutting board and cutout a half circle shape on each side of the cake (for the ears) leaving a bowtie shape in the center of the cake. The bowtie shape should resemble an hourglass and be about 1 1/2-inches in width at the widest area. Place half circle shapes above the bunny's head pointing upwards to resemble bunny ears. Place the remaining hourglass shape below the cake round to make a bowtie or collar.

    Frost the entire top and sides of cake with frosting.

    Sprinkle bunny's head and ears with white coconut. Press coconut onto sides of cake. Sprinkle pink frosting in center of bunny's ears and bowtie/collar with pink coconut again pressing coconut onto sides of cake. Sprinkle green coconut around outer edge of bunny covering exposed pan to appear as grass.

    For bunny's face, place two pink jellybeans in center of face to resemble eyes, add 6 3-inch stands of licorice to resemble whiskers with a dark colored jelly bean for the nose. A jelly bean can be used for the mouth and place 3 jelly beans in the center of the bowtie or collar to resemble buttons.
