With a simple cookie cutter and some colorful sprinkles, you can transform a basic cake into a delightful Easter masterpiece. Whether you’re hosting a family gathering or just want to surprise your loved ones, this cake is sure to bring smiles all around.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box of your favorite cake mix (or homemade cake recipe)
  • Ingredients needed for the cake mix (eggs, oil, water, etc.)
  • 2 cups of vanilla or cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1–2 cups of colorful sprinkles (pastel colors work best for Easter)
  • 1 Easter Bunny-shaped cookie cutter

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cake

  1. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions.
  2. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box or using your favorite recipe.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between two greased and floured cake pans.
  4. Bake according to the instructions and let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 2: Assemble and Frost the Cake

  1. Once the cakes are cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
  2. Spread a layer of frosting on top of the first cake layer.
  3. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with a thin crumb coat. Chill for 15-20 minutes to set.
  4. Apply a second, thicker layer of frosting, smoothing it out as much as possible. You can leave the edges exposed for a rustic look or cover them completely.

Step 3: Decorate with the Easter Bunny Sprinkles

  1. Decide where you want the bunny design to be on your cake (center, top, or multiple bunnies).
  2. Gently press the Easter Bunny cookie cutter into the frosting where you want the design. Be careful not to press too hard—just enough to create a clear outline.
  3. Fill the cookie cutter with sprinkles, shaking them gently to distribute evenly. Use a spoon or your fingers to press the sprinkles lightly into the frosting.
  4. Carefully lift the cookie cutter straight up to reveal your bunny-shaped sprinkle design. If any sprinkles stick to the cutter, gently tap them back into place.

Step 4: Final Touches

  1. If desired, add extra sprinkles around the base of the cake or on the sides for a festive touch.
  2. Serve and enjoy your adorable Sprinkles Easter Bunny Cake!

Notes

  • Cake Flavor: Use a carrot cake recipe for a traditional Easter flavor, or stick with vanilla or strawberry for a classic taste.
  • Sprinkles: Look for pastel-colored sprinkles or themed Easter sprinkles with bunnies, eggs, or flowers for extra charm.
  • Cookie Cutter: If you don’t have a bunny-shaped cutter, you can use a stencil or freehand the design with a toothpick.
  • Chill the Cake: For easier decorating, chill the frosted cake for 15-20 minutes before adding the sprinkles.
