Bunny Cake

stand. Cover with about 12 cup of whipped vanilla buttercream. Add the neon layer of cake. Cover with about 12 cup of buttercream. Place the blue layer of cake on top. Now cover the cake with a thin coat of whipped vanilla buttercream. This is called a crumb coat and will seal in all the crumbs. Set cake in the fridge to chill for about 15minutes.
Cut Out the Bunny
While the crumb coated cake is chilling cut out the bunny. You can use this bunny template. You may need to size it on your computer so that the size of the template is smaller than the size of the cake. I printed out the bunny then placed a piece of parchment paper over the top and traced it with a permanent marker. Cut it out. This is the bunny template that you will place directly on the cake.
Sprinkle sanding sugar on top of the cake just barely covering the area that the bunny will be placed on. This will help you to remove the parchment cutout easily. Place the bunny cutout on top of the sugar and press down slightly.
Begin to pipe dollops on the cake. To pipe a dollop simply pick up your bag of frosting barely touch the tip to the cake and apply pressure. Release pressure and quickly pull up and away from the cake.
PRO TIP I start with one color then apply that around the bunny cutout making sure to pipe directly on the edges of the cutout. I repeat this with all of the colors making sure every edge of the cutout is covered and then slightly beyond. You will NOT finish piping the cake here just enough dollops to cover the edges of the bunny cutout and a bit beyond. You want to remove the bunny cutout while the frosting is still soft and not starting to harden.
Remove the bunny cutout. Once you have dollops all around the cutout you can remove it. To do this I use a toothpick to find the end of the parchment and pull it up slightly. Set down the toothpick and then using both hands start to pull the parchment up and away from the cake. Move slowly. You want the bunny cutout to pull away any of the frostings that were piped on top of it and leave a nice clean edge on the frosting remaining on the
