Easter Bunny Butt Cake

April 3, 2022 By Gretchen 6 Comments

I like Bunny Butts and I cannot lie.

Seriously how cute is this cake!

This cake was originally supposed to be a simple showcase for my homemade Vegan Cadbury Eggs,

But I became obsessed with the little bunny butt sticking out

As he burrowed his way into my cake looking for more carrots!

So while I am still showcasing my homemade Vegan Cadbury Eggs and white chocolate coconut nest on top

That bunny butt just won’t quit!

All my favorite things adorn this cake for the ultimate in Easter Cakes!

 

Layers of Chocolate and Vanilla Cake, peanut butter buttercream & fudge swirl filling

This time fondant is the canvas to hand paint my spring grass and royal icing flowers.

Of course you can use any cake recipe and fillings you prefer

And if fondant is not your thing buttercream icing can surely be used instead.

 

The white chocolate nest & knock off Cadbury Creme Eggs  are optional

If you rather get ol’ Bunny Butt front and center on top of that cake instead.

For the royal icing spring flowers I use :

Confectioner’s Sugar 1½ cup (180ml)
Salt pinch
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon (5ml)
Aquafaba or Water 1 Tablespoon (15ml)
Color as needed

Mix everything together to a thick but pipe able paste then with a #129 Wilton Drop Flower tip press out onto parchment paper and let dry overnight

Then just peel them off the paper and add to your cake!

Royal Icing flowers will stay fresh & hard for up to 1 month in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool dry spot

To make this cake project easier you can and should break it up into several days of advanced prep work

As I just mentioned, those royal icing flowers can be made weeks in advance; as well as the copy cat creme eggs

The bunny butt and carrots can be done well in advance as well

I almost always bake my cake layers up to two days ahead of time so they are nice and cold when I get to building the cake

Buttercream and fudge icing both can be made up to a week ahead of time

So as you can see this cake is a breeze to put together as long as all of your mise en place is ready to go!

    That is absolutely adorable! I googled bunny butts and yours stood out. Gorgeous. As a beginner I have to ask: how did you make the carrots?
