Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box of your favorite cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box, such as eggs, oil, and water)
- 2 containers of frosting (vanilla or your preferred flavor)
- Food coloring (pink, green, or colors of your choice)
- Sprinkles or other decorations (jelly beans, chocolate chips, etc.)
- Round cake pans (two, 9-inch)

- In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix with ingredients specified on the box. Mix until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

- Arrange the cutout pieces around the whole cake to form the bunny shape.
- Frost the entire cake, including the ears and bowtie.
