Bunny Butt Cake is the only dessert you need for Easter!
I like Bunny Butts and I cannot lie! Seriously how cute is this cake!
Butt wait, it doesn’t stop at the Bunny Butt because all my favorite things adorn this cake for the ultimate in Easter Cakes!
Layers of Chocolate and Vanilla Cake with peanut butter buttercream and fudge swirl filling
Fondant is the canvas to hand paint my spring grass and royal icing flowers.
But if fondant is not your thing buttercream icing can surely be used instead, it’s just much harder to paint on buttercream
White chocolate coconut nests and Copy Cat Cadbury Creme Eggs are optional but so adorable!

Notes for Success:
For the royal icing spring flowers I use my vegan sprinkles recipe and then
Just pipe them with a #129 Wilton Drop Flower tip onto parchment paper to dry
Royal Icing flowers will stay fresh & hard for up to 1 month in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool dry spot
Since the creation of this cake back in 2017 I have recently shared a recipe for marble cake
This makes life easier to prepare just one recipe for cake rather than two as I originally show in the video linked below
Follow the link in the recipe box below to make the marble cake recipe or use whatever cake recipe you love the most!

Notes
Bunny Butt cake can stay out at room temperature for several hours (up to 4) but because of the fondant and heavy decor I would recommend to keep the cake refrigerated for longer storage
Cake will stay fresh for up to 1 week in the refrigerator before it is cut, after cutting wrap loosely to prevent drying
that is a cute cake!!!! i love it…<3
