Tips to use When baking an Easter Cake

When assembling the cake, consider using a middle piece from one of the layers to create a cavity for inserting Easter candies or other cute little decorations.
To add a fun twist, consider cutting up the cake into different shapes, such as ears and a bow tie then assemble your bunny design.
Once decorated, cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
As you assemble your cake, keep in mind that the most important thing is to have fun and get creative!
Consider adding drops of green food coloring to white frosting to create a grassy base for your bunny cake.
