How to Make a 3D Bunny Cake

Why settle for a boring pan-moulded, 2 dimensional cake design when you can have a beautiful 3D bunny as the centerpiece for the party? I've provided step-by-step instructions on how to create your own delicious cake that's perfect for Easter, your favourite 2 year old's birthday, or "bow down to our leporine overlords day". You can use the same basic construction methods to create a number of different cake styles later on.

Step 1: Make a Plan

First you'll need a sketch or drawing of what you want to accomplish. Try to get the proportions as accurate as possible so you won't drive yourself crazy trying to get it to turn out just right.

In this case I'm planning on 4 layers, with each layer being a 9x13 cake. The ears and tail are add-ons that I'll apply separately.

Cute idea! When I made a similar cake to this I made the ears out of rice crispy treats, that way I was able to get the 3-d shape I wanted; when I was done I iced it up and if I do say so myself it turned out pretty spiffy :D

Cute! Try making the ears out of fondant or icing, but it is cute already. Great job!

Great cake! My younger sister's nickname is Bunny, and as I am the resident cake baker in the house I will have to bake it for her, maybe for her 16th birthday... :) will post pics if it happens.. :) I like your very descriptive style because it assumes no prior knowledge of cake baking... I wish I'd known that when I was starting out!! :) Well done!! :)

yummy...

but i love the structure and maybe if you can
buy this at a local wal-mart,then use Fondant
for the ears instead of paper

Super cute! And looks tastey too (;

[Clayton H.]

the ears should be made out of the edible paper that they put on the DQ cakes

SWEEET! I love it! great work. may i suggest making the ears out of icing so it can be all edible? you could make them lie down on his back. I will make this,

You have succeeded where I have failed. Nice job. I never thought of nearly freezing the cake
