I found this recipe for a medditteranian carrot cake that takes pistachios and apricots.

Do you have a video on decorating a Easter lamb cake,I loved those when I was growing up.

[@bonniebrown6960]

Cute idea for your Bunny cake. I'll make my grandkids one next year. I had a heart attack almost a month ago, I'm not feeling so well this year. I hope I'm here next year. God willing. 🙏 By the way my Granny called me Bunny.... for years. lol !! Happy Easter everyone. 🐣 God bless you all. 🙏💖

[@cathysolomons4973]

I made this cake for my boyfriend Eddie back in 1976 when I was 14. He took a picture of it, which I still have, and I still have Eddie. 😊🐇

So romantic❣️

[@sheilamoore4842]

So adorable

[@connieyoung7878]

I made my first bunny cake In1987 .My daughter Kelly was 10 months old and her sister Karah was three. I have made one ever since, and Kelly was most of the time the daughter to insist we make one together. Kelly is now thirty-six she is a flight attendant and lives in Valencia, CA. Last year she had a daughter Kira who is a downs baby and the love of all of our lives This year Kelly and Kira will be making their first bunny cake on Good Friday together. Traditions ARE VERY IMPORTANT and it really doesn't matter if it's a cake mix in a box or canned frosting or all made from scratch. The important part is that you do it with the ones you 💘 SO LONG LIVE THE BUNNY CAKE TRADITION!!! My granddaughter Rease and I will be making one in Indiana as well on the same day.

[@gretalynn462]

For my boys we would do a chocolate bunny cake and while my boys were sleeping the night before Easter we made an Easter Bunny "trap" that never quite caught the Easter Bunny ;) We shaved a little bit of white fluff off our dog's belly(for Easter Bunny fur) and set up a box on a stick, and then scattered jelly beans(Easter Bunny poop) and the fur around the box like the trap *almost* caught the Easter Bunny while he was hiding eggs :) My boys loved waking up to that!

[@riac5388]

LOL, What a fun idea!

[@LeighAnn_S]

@Greta Lynn Mercy Goodness! Yours is THE most precious Easter Bunny story I've ever heard. I don't have children, but I hope you don't mind me sharing your brilliant idea with my niece to use when her infant boys are a bit older (though they'll have to improvise a bit more with the fluff haha). Hoppy Easter to you and your family!!! 🐰

[@gretelhance]

And Jesus rose!!!!!!!!!!

[@debbiediane9577]

I love this story. I wonder what the dog thought?

[@LeighAnn_S]

@@gretelhance He Is the reason for the seasons! ⛪ My younger sister and I were taught that the Easter Bunny (Osterhase) magically visited the homes of those who attended Mass. Many years later, we realized our parents told us we were running late for church (15 minutes ahead of schedule) and wrangled us into the car. Daddy would then suddenly "forget" something -- tithe, his glasses, and even the keys to the car went missing one Easter haha -- it was Mom's job to keep us kids in the car, and to prevent me from running back into the house to assist Daddy on his quest for the missing item. We would return from Mass to discover beautiful baskets filled with treats, and then search for colorful eggs. I love your screen name! Hansel and Gretel was one of my favorite stories, and Grimm's Fairy Tales evoke such precious childhood memories. Hope you and your family have a blessed Easter! :)

[@joycewilson3787]

I made this for my boys in the late 70's through the 80's, until they were too old for Easter baskets . I made 7-minute frosting and covered him with coconut. I set aside about a cup of the coconut and tinted it with red food coloring to make it pink, for inside the ears and for his bowtie i would tint another cup blue or green. I bought large Easter colored malted milk balls and used two blue ones for the eyes and two pink ones for his lips I would take narrow curling ribbon and cut four 12 inch lengths and curl them with my scissors and I had the whiskers. This bought back precious memories. I put the bunny on a long silver serving tray covered with large white doilies. I love you to pieces Miss Paula,

😞My grandmother made this for my birthday every year.. I lost her a few years ago and still haven't recovered from it. They say "well she was older and lived a good life".. yes, that's true!, but that doesn't make the pain any less hurtful! She was an amazing cook!! I would beg her to show me how and she would dip, scoop, splash, pinch.. lol soo... I never learned her way of cookin! Having said that - absolutely loved the video! 🤗 Happy Easter!! 🐰

[@apatterson1461]

I lost my mom and feel the same way. Even though I'm a mom and grandma the loss is there. But when I'm cooking she's with me and I'm full of joyous memories.

You're sooooooo RIGHT Paula!!! "The more people that love your children, the better off they are for it"!!!! I made " Easter Cookies" w/my daughter and my Grandsons last week-end. They had the BEST TIME!!!! Everett is ALLERGIC to Eggs, and we've dyed them for the last few years. This year I decided to just go ahead and make "Easter Egg Cookies" with the boys, and they were soooooo HAPPY w/them, and had soooooo MUCH FUN!!!! I'm really glad we decided to do that!!!!

Paula we just visited friends in TN and on our list of things to do was visit your restaurant! We had the BEST experience! The food, service, storefront all exceeded expectations. Watching you all these years I’ve watched you make so many of the dishes we were eating. The decor is so stinkin’ cute! Wonderful job!

[@Kj-yu9cb]

I felt so fortunate to be homemaker while I was raising my kids in the '80s and '90s . I would make this cake almost exactly like you did. However, I would also add a lemon curd filling to both cakes before I cut the ears & bowtie, yum .😋 As my daughter got old enough, she would love to help decorate. One good thing about this cake is that it serves a lot of folks. There's also the WOW factor for the first-timers. 😛 Thanks Paula . Many Easter Blessings to you & your whole gang. 🎀👒🐰🙏

[@debbiediane9577]

My Mother-in-law made this every Easter from the time her kids were little and then for her grandkids until she passed away in 2020. It’s a fun Easter dessert.

[@andybetz.9978]

Hi Debbie

[@stacey5925]

I don't recall having a bunny cake growing up, but we did do sugar cookie bunnies, lambs and eggs. My mom always made her sweet Easter bread to go with the salty ham and kielbasa (sandwiches later) and always had her homemade nutroll with icing glaze. Sure do miss those days.

[@QueenCityHistory]

We used to make this cake every year. I still make it for passover because it brings so many childhood memories back. I remember one year our dog jumped on the counter and started eating it and as she jumped down after being yelled at, Mr bunny ended up face down on the floor...what was left of him anyway.

[@susanhauck7423]

Love the bunny cake! ♥️

[@BearWithMe-Jillian]

We always used carrot cake for our Easter Bunny cakes. My favorite one we had when I was a child was shaped like the bunny was laying on his tummy, and his feet were sticking out behind him. That one was store-bought and had plastic pieces stuck in, instead of "real" decorations but it was still adorable. I've since seen ones made with edible decorations (pink jelly beans for the feet pads and mini marshmallows for the cottontail).
