Have you ever made a cut-up cake? What family wouldn’t like this delightful Easter cake? This cut-up cake is a great activity for kids and it’s surprisingly easy to make. The idea is simple – start with two 9-inch round cakes, and then cut them up, reassemble them, and create the bunny. Decorate with frosting, candy, and coconut.
