Ingredients:
1 package of yellow cake mix
3 3/4 cups flaked coconut
1 (16 oz) package vanilla frosting
30 small jellybeans
4 red licorice
Directions:
1. Prepare the oven and prepare as instructed on the cake box, two 9 inch round baking pans. Prepare cake batter with adding 1/2 cup of coconut as directed on package. Equally split the batter between the prepared dishes. Cool cake and bake as directed on package.
2. When cooled, place a whole layer of 9-inch cake on a serving tray, forming the head of the bunny. Cut 2 convex-shaped ears from either side of the second layer to form ears on either side of the head. For bowtie using a concave-shaped object, put about 1/2 inch below the ear.
3. Frost whole bunny covering top and bunny hands. Pat coconut remaining 3 1/4 cups uniformly over top and sides. Decorate the bunny face and bowtie with jelly beans, and make whiskers using the licorice.
