Step 1: Bake the Bundt Cake
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions.
- Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box.
- Grease and flour a Bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake as instructed.
- Let the cake cool completely before decorating.
Step 2: Prepare the Frosting
- Divide the white frosting into two bowls.
- Leave one bowl of frosting white for the base layer.
- Add green food coloring to the second bowl and mix until you achieve a bright grass-like green.
Step 3: Decorate the Cake
Step 1: Pipe the First Layer of White Frosting
- Fill a piping bag or a sturdy Ziploc bag with the white frosting.
- Cut a small hole (about 1/2 inch) in the tip of the bag.
- Pipe the frosting in a zigzag pattern from the middle of the cake to halfway down the sides, creating loops at each end. This will form the base of your basket.
Step 2: Pipe the First Layer of Green Frosting
- Fill another piping bag or Ziploc bag with the green frosting.
- Cut a smaller hole (about 1/4 inch) in the tip.
- Pipe a zigzag layer of green frosting on the top of the cake to resemble grass.
Step 3: Add Another Layer of Green Frosting
- Go over the top of the cake again with the green frosting, this time making it look wild and uneven to mimic the texture of grass.
Step 4: Make a Tinfoil Ball
- Crumple a piece of aluminum foil into a ball and place it in the center hole of the Bundt cake. This will act as a base for the candies and prevent you from needing to fill the entire hole with treats.
Step 5: Decorate with Candy
- Add your favorite Easter candies, such as mini eggs, marshmallow bunnies, or jellybeans, to the top of the cake.
- Place a headband or ribbon around the cake to create the basket handle.
