Make your Easter celebration one to remember with a showstopping bunny cake! We love this playful cake in the shape of the season’s signature rabbit, a whimsical treat that’s been a seasonal best seller for nearly a decade. All you need to pull it off is our easy-to-use nonstick bunny pan, plus a few everyday baking essentials — then, decorate any way you like. Whether you sprinkle your bunny with sugar, drizzle him with a chocolate glaze or adorn him with colorful icings, this magical cake is guaranteed to make everyone at the table smile.
There are two ways to serve the cake: You can build a 3-D bunny cake following the directions below, or simply bake one half and serve it, flat side down, directly on a platter. Surround it with festive Easter candies for a pretty presentation.

Hi Sonya,
We generally use our Bundt cake mixes when making bunny cakes. Any flavor will do, and you just follow the package instructions for making the batter. They can see what the instructions for our lemon and vanilla Bundt cakes look like here:

You can also use your favorite scratch recipe, though the cake has to be a fairly sturdy one to not fall apart when assembling the cake.

[…] Weekend Project: Bake a Bunny Cake | Williams-Sonoma Taste – Make your Easter celebration one to remember with a showstopping bunny cake! … Grease and flour the pan, then divide the batter made from our Bundt cake mix between two halves. … Williams-Sonoma Post author Apr 7 at 3:58 pm. […]
Yes the ears do cook more quickly than the rest. Will try foil next time. And the little tail didn’t quite fill up. My mom probably made one of the first bunny cakes 40 years ago from two 9 inch rounds. This certainly takes it up a level! Doing mazapan carrots with green coconut “grass”.
Just finished making the cake for Easter. Looks adorable. Haven’t tasted it yet, but I am concerned because the bunny ears cooked much faster than the rest of the cake. I covered the ears with foil for the last 10 minutes but they still got over cooked. One other comment…only had to cook the cake for 52 minutes rather than the 60 the recipe called for. My over may be off though.
