Spring is in the air and Bunny Cakes are everywhere! You will LOVE this white chocolate cake mix fix with fluffy marshmallow icing! The best part? One cake mix will make three bunnies! That means this year there will be enough ears for everyone. :)
Everyone has felt the pinch of the economy in one way or another. This year, instead of spending a lot of money on expensive table decorations, how about whipping up a family of these bunnies to serve as centerpieces AND dessert?

6 egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Food coloring, optional
Garnish
3 large red gumballs
3 large marshmallows
6 round malt chocolate candies
Directions:
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray or grease bottom of three 9 inch round cake pans.
Combine all cake ingredients except chocolate chips in large bowl. Mix until well blended. Fold in chocolate chips. Divide batter among three greased cake pans (make sure to use three pans or your cakes will overflow!).
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Remove from oven and turn over on wire racks to cool completely.
In a medium pan, combine sugar, water, cream of tartar and salt. Cook over medium heat until just boiling, stirring occasionally.
Place egg whites in large mixing bowl. Turn mixer on high and continue to beat while slowly pouring in hot sugar mixture. Beat until fluffy and glossy, about 7 minutes. Add vanilla.
Separate icing into bowls and color as desired.
When your cakes are cooled, cut in half. Use one half for the bunny face. Cut ears out of the other half, as shown below. One of the ears is longer, so don’t worry! Cut off the top and flip over to form a “folded ear”.

Divide icing into bowls and color as desired. I like to reserve 1 cup white for ears then tint three bowls pastel pink, yellow, and blue. Or, you can make your bunnies whatever colors you want to match your party!Frost generously, using your knife to make peaks in the icing. Note: once the icing sets, don’t mess with it! You’ll ruin the smooth gloss. Use candies to create a bunny face, as below.

love that recipe!
This is adorable - great job! Although my cakes taste great, I usually run into trouble making them look good, but maybe I'll give it a try!
We made the fluffy bunny cakes for Easter this year for the cousins. What a big hit with the kids who made them as well as those that received them. What fun it was for the kids to "play" with making the highest peaks. Great idea. Oh! And just a note: we didn't have a white cake mix or the coordinating pudding mix and white choc chips. So! we substituted a vanilla cake with vanilla pudding and plain old choc chips. Kids LOVED it. Thanks for the idea! - Kris
