This cake is fantastic and gets changed up every year. I have a son who was born on Easter Monday and his birthday falls around easter every year. I have changed in many times, sometimes I use coloured coconut, other times coloured icing. I have thrown chocolate eggs into the mixture and coloured candies instead of the food colouring. I also wrap in waxpaper, coins for a birthday present (just remember to put toothpicks in so the birthday child gets the coins). We use licorice for the mouth and whiskers and oreos for the eyes. We have used a large assortment of candies for the bowtie. Love this cake and will make it again this year for Easter. Sons birthday is two weeks later, so he will get another kind of bunny cake that I also make, he will be 19 now and has asked for a bunny cake. look forward to another year of hoppyness.

I've make this bunny cake since my kids were small. I don't use coconut, but dye frosting with food dye. My oldest is now 49 years old. And what makes this so much fun is that most of my kids now have a picture contest every year to see who made the "best" bunny. Memories passed on. That is a treat in itself!

I will be making this for Easter this year. I am omitting the coconut as I am allergic. I am happy to have found this recipe as my grandmother use to make it for my brother and me when we were young.

Love this recipe but used Cool Whip for the "frosting" since my kids don't like coconut!
