Easter Bunny Butt Cake

Follow These Steps

Bake one recipe yellow cake in three 9-inch layers. Watch them carefully: since the cakes are thinner than normal, you may need to reduce the bake time by a few minutes (ours baked about 20 minutes). While they cool, make a batch of our easy Vanilla Frosting.

When you’re ready to assemble, place a swipe of frosting on the center of a cake stand or large plate. This will keep the cake from sliding around while you decorate. Slide 4 strips of parchment underneath the bottom layer in a square formation.

(This makes it easy to clean up after you’ve decorated the cake, but more on that in a sec.) Generously frost the bottom layer, being sure to let the frosting peak over the edges.
