How to Make It
Step 1
Place 1 cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with 1 cup of the frosting, and spread evenly. Repeat procedure with second cake layer, and top with remaining cake layer.
Step 2
Using a small knife, carve out a 1/2-inch deep hole in the top center of cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Use a spoon to remove the carved out cake from hole. Lightly frost sides and top of cake with 1 cup of the frosting, coating the top hole with a thin layer to hold in the crumbs.
Step 3
Fit a large piping bag with a basket weave tip (such as Wilton No.47 tip) and fill piping bag with remaining icing. Pipe a basket weave pattern around sides of cake.
Step 4
Place coconut and a drop of green food coloring in a plastic ziplock bag; toss to combine. Transfer green coconut to the hole on top of cake, covering entire hole. Top coconut with candy eggs.
Step 5
Skewer mini marshmallows onto garden wire, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border of wire on both ends. Insert wire ends into top of cake to resemble a basket handle.
