A fun and easy to make bunny cake made with Smarties, KitKats and simple cake mix!
Great for birthdays, Easter or just because!
For my daughters birthday, her simple request was a bunny cake.
She loves all things bunny.
Heres the episode that inspired her bunny cake.
It looked pretty simple to put together, but I admit, I was nervous!
I was really hoping that I would Nail it and not Fail it!
I wanted to show my daughter that her mama could conquer a Nailed it cake.
Pressure was on and challenge accepted!
Now back to the bunny cake, lets hoppity hop to it!

I swear you cant mess up pre-made cake mix.
I had a couple of Oops!
moments (or as my daughter called them Nailed It!
moments) while baking the cake and it STILL turned out fluffy, moist and delicious!
One of my Nailed It!
moment was when I decided to pour the ENTIRE batter into one round 10 cake pan.
I should have split it up into 2 batches OR picked a larger pan.
Because of this mishap it took almost 3 times as long to bake in the oven.
I was worried the cake would be dry.
Even with the extended baking time, it turned out great!
Telling you, there is baking magic in those cake mixes!
TIP:My sister-in-law was staying over that weekend and shes a baker.
Her baked goods always taste great.
This also might be the reason why it turned out great even if I over baked it.
After my first cake was done and completely cooled, I realized that it wasnt tall enough.
The cake was too short!
I needed to bake another cake!
We made some cupcakes with the leftover batter.
The first cake along with the half cake just baked, were just the perfect height when layered together!
The cakes were then iced.
Once iced, the birthday girl stuck on the KitKats around the cake.
The bunny bum portion was done in a white fondant.
I made the bunny bum portion into the shape of aslightly flattened out sphere.
The feet were shaped intotwo oblong ovals, same with the ears.
The cotton looking bunny tail started out as a round sphere.
I took a cutlery knife and gentlypoked it all around to create the fluffliness look.
A bunny cake with a hoppy ending!
My daughter LOVED it and was so proud that we Nailed it!
