Pull-Apart Bunny Cake

Dear Friends -
I thought this would be the perfect recipe
for Easter. It seems like it would be a lot of fun for
your little ones. Also, the whole idea of bunny cakes
hold a special place in my heart. My birthday is March
27th and for as far back as I can remember, my mom has
always made me my annual "bunny" birthday cake since my
birthday always fell so close to Easter. Somewhere
along the way it became our tradition for me to have a bunny
cake for my birthday each year. Now the bunny's
"innards" would change from carrot to strawberry to vanilla
each year, but it would always have white frosting with pink
ears. So in 40+ years, I don't remember ever having a
traditional birthday cake, but always looked forward to
Mom's homemade bunny cake. This recipe below is
definitely a new twist to her bunny cake idea. It
would also be great not only for kids, but even an office
party, etc.... So in honor of you Mom, what do you think of
this "Pull-Apart Bunny Cake" idea for my 42nd birthday this
year???? :-)
Love you always, Mom.

Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper
baking cups into 24 muffin pan cups; set aside.
Combine all cake ingredients in large bowl; beat at low
speed until dry mix is moistened. Increase speed to
medium; beat until well mixed. Evenly fill prepared
muffin cups with batter; bake for 18 to 20 minutes or as
directed on package for cupcakes. Cool completely in
pan. Reserve 12 cupcakes for another use.
To form bunny head and ears, arrange 11 cupcakes
very close together on a 14x12-inch rectangular or
13-inch round serving tray as shown in diagram. Remove 1
remaining cupcake from baking cup, cut in half
horizontally.
Combine all frosting ingredients in large bowl except
whipping cream. Beat at low speed until well mixed.
Increase speed to high; beat, adding enough whipping
cream for desired frosting consistency.
Place 1/2 cup coconut in small plastic container
with cover; add 1 drop red food color. Cover
container and shake, adding additional food color if
necessary until coconut is tinted desired pink color;
set aside.
Frost over cupcakes and spaces between them to create
bunny head. Frost cut side of each cupcake half; place
frosting side down onto row of 3 cupcakes for “bunny
cheeks”. Frost cheeks.
Sprinkle pink coconut over bunny cheeks and along outer
sides of each ear. Sprinkle white coconut onto all
remaining areas.
Create eyes, nose and mouth using assorted candies,
miniature marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Recipe Tip
Another option for decorating bunny
face is to sprinkle white and pink decorator sugars over
frosting instead of coconut.
