Description

These adorable Easter Bunny Butt Cone Cakes are the perfect way to celebrate spring and Easter with a delightful and playful treat! This easy recipe is fun for bakers of all ages and creates a showstopping dessert for any Easter gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Ice cream cones
  • 1 box (16.25 oz) Funfetti cake mix (or your preferred flavor)
  • White frosting (homemade or store-bought)
  • Shredded coconut
  • Food coloring (pink and yellow)
  • Mini chocolate eggs (24)
  • Bunny feet candy (24) (or substitute with pink candy melts or sprinkles)

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Get your oven ready for baking! Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Prepare the Cones: Arrange the ice cream cones upright on your prepared baking sheet.

  3. Fill the Bunny Butts: Time to fill those cones! Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each ice cream cone with Funfetti cake batter, leaving about ½ inch of space at the top to prevent overflow during baking.

  4. Bake Until Golden: Pop those bunny butts in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them! A toothpick inserted into the center of a cake should come out clean when they’re done.

  5. Cool Completely: Let the baked cone cakes cool completely on the baking sheet before decorating. This is important to prevent the frosting from melting.

Decorating Time!

Now comes the fun part – transforming these cooled cakes into adorable bunny butts!

  1. Frosting Fun: Spread or pipe your favorite white frosting onto the top of each cooled cone cake. This will be the base for the fluffy bunny tails.

  2. Coconut Fur: Sprinkle generous amounts of shredded coconut over the frosted tops, creating a soft and textured fur effect for your bunny butts.

  3. Prepare the Bunny Feet: Let’s get those bunnies hopping! If you’re using store-bought bunny feet candy, simply attach them to the base of each cone cake using a small dab of frosting as glue.

Notes

Don’t have bunny feet candy? No problem!

  • Melt some pink candy melts according to package instructions.
  • Pipe small teardrop shapes onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely.
  • Once cool, attach these homemade bunny feet to the base of the cone cakes using frosting.
  1. Create the Bunny Faces: Time to bring those bunny butts to life! Here’s where you can get creative:
  • Use a small dot of black frosting or a tiny piece of black candy melt for the nose.
  • Cut mini marshmallows in half and attach them with frosting for adorable bunny mouths.
  • Add pink frosting cheeks for extra cuteness!
  1. Bunny Tails with Mini Eggs: For the finishing touch, create a cute little bunny tail! Pipe a small dollop of white candy melt (or frosting) in the center of the top of each cake. Gently press a chocolate mini egg onto the white dot to create the tail.

Tips:

  • For a neater filling process, use a piping bag to fill the ice cream cones with cake batter.
  • Consider pre-cutting bunny feet shapes from pink fondant or candy melts to save time during decorating.
  • Keep extra frosting and decorations on hand for any last-minute touch-ups.
