Easy Easter Decorative Cake
Are you looking to wow you family and friends into thinking you are some kind of wonderful baker? Save money and make this easy cake for Easter yourself. This is an easy Easy Decorative Cake you can make to impress anyone.
First start off by cheating and make a simple white box cake, add a little green food coloring.
While your cake is cooking you can color your semi-sweet coconut. To do this just put a few drops of food coloring in a zip-lock bag with the coconut and shake.
Put a few drops of green food coloring in your icing. Then icing your cake once it is cool. Use the Peeps to make a pattern in colors going around the cake.
Now top the cake with the coconut, small bunnies from the Easter Grass, and Robin Eggs. Just a tip: I was going to use the Edible Easter Basket Grass instead of the coconut but, in my opinion it did not look good and did not taste that great either.
- Box cake mix
- Green Food Coloring
- Icing
- Semi-sweet Coconut Shavings
- Edible Easter Basket Grass - just to use the little bunnies
- Multicolored Peeps Bunnies
- Mini Robin Eggs Candy
- Make the box cake adding food coloring if you like.
- While your cake is cooking you can color your semi-sweet coconut. To do this just put a few drops of food coloring in a zip-lock bag with the coconut and shake.
- Pick out the little bunnies that come in the Edible Easter Basket Grass and place aside.
- Put a few drops of green food coloring in your icing. Then icing your cake once it is cool.
- Use the Peeps to make a pattern in colors going around the cake.
- Now top the cake with the coconut, small bunnies, and Robin Eggs.
