1 cup sugar

This very easy bunny cake.  The recipe for this was in a cookbook Gary gave me in 9th grade.  I've been
making every since.

Start with a round 8 inch cake.  Cut it in half.  Put the two halves together.

Cut a little slice out about 1/2 way down one side.

 (See the slice to the right.)

Put the cut out piece on the back for the tail.

Frost all over.

 

Put coconut on if desired.

Add jelly beans for eyes and nose.

Cut ears out of card stock and insert.

 

Be careful, or they'll run away when they realize you

are going to eat them.

But most importantly, add people.
