Hi Friends! Thanks for joining us for our DIY Bunny inspired party hop! Thanks for joining me from Bella Grey Designs! Weren’t her bunny party favors the cutest?!

Today I am sharing a DIY Tutorial for an Easter Bunny Peeps cake! This cake is so easy and fun and sure to be the star of your Easter party!

So, let’s hop to it shall we? You can use any cake mix or homemade cake recipe. I chose to keep it simple and use a store bought cake mix.

  1. Buy and gather your supplies:
  • Cake Mix or ingredients for your cake
  • Shredded Coconut
  • Green Food Coloring
  • Easter M&M’s
  • Frosting ingredients
  • Peeps in bright Easter colors

2. Make and bake your cake according to directions.

*I grease my pans using real butter and flour and the cake always comes out of the pan so easily.

3. Place shredded coconutĀ in a bowl and add several drops of green food coloring to create the “grass” for the cake.

4. Make frosting – I use my tried and true buttercream frosting recipe from my mom!

Homemade buttercream frosting recipe:

16 ouncesĀ of Powdered Sugar

1/2 cup of softened butter

1 tsp of vanilla

A couple of tablespoons of milk

Directions:

*In a medium bowl, beat butter and vanilla on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth

*Add in powdered sugar and continue to mix

*Add in a tablespoon of milk at a time; you may need to add more milk to get to your desired consistency

5. Frost cake.

This cake will sure to be a hit with your family and friends at your Easter party or brunch, especially with the kiddos! I added some funny bunny toppers simply by attaching bunny stickers from the Target dollar spot onto cute paper straws!

I displayed this cute cake on my vintage cart that I decorate for the holidays. Perfect spot for it!

I love jazzing up water when I serve it at parties/get-togethers. For this little gathering I hosted, I invited some mommy friends over for some snacks, drinks, and fun. I had wine, sparkling lemonade and mint and orange water. I simply sliced some oranges and added some organic mint. The water tasted delicious and looked so pretty too! I am all about the details.

Here is the the whole table set-up. I added some pretty pink flowers, a cheese and cracker plate, fresh fruit, and individual chocolates. Simple and pretty!
