Bunny Cake
Easter is right around the corner so there is no better time to add some color to your favorite sweet treats. And who doesnt love a cute little cutout bunny shape on a delicious and colorful cake? I absolutely love vibrant colors and adding splashes of color to my baking projects. Best of all I am always able to achieve with the wonderful shades of pink purple green blue and countless others with McCormick Neon Food Color.

The design is simple enough and the technique once you see it done in the video below can be replicated with any shape you want. Maybe a 7 for a birthday cake or an apple shape for a teacher!

Start by baking your cake.
Prepare 2 boxes of cake mix and then divide between three bowls. I add 10 drops of neon purple 10 drops of neon blue and 20 drops of neon green to each bowl. Stir well make sure there are no lumps! and then pour into three 8inch round cake pans. Bake according to directions.
After baking allow cakes to cool and then level the cakes if necessary.
Prepare the frosting.
Make up two batches of Whipped Vanilla Buttercream. The first batch will remain white for frosting the cake and then the next batch was divided equally between 4 bowls. Add 10 drops of purple to one bowl 10 drops of blue to the next 10 drops of pink to the next and 20 drops of green.
Now take your bowl of purple and remove half of the frosting and place into a pastry bag fitted with a 18 tip. Add more purple food color to the remaining frosting about 5 drops so that you will have a darker purple. Place that frosting in a pastry bag fitted with a 32 tip. You now have two colors in the same tone and two different tip sizes!
Repeat this with the remaining frostings. Set aside until ready to decorate the cake.
Start to assemble the cake.
Place the purple layer of cake on serving platter or a cake
