• Vanilla buttercream

• Bunny Peeps (shaped marshmallows)
• White Chocolate M&M’s
Procedure:
Prepare cake batter. Divide cake batter into 4 equal portions, and colour one portion blue, one pink and one yellow. Leave one portion white.
Grease two 8″ cake pans. Starting with one cake pan, place dollops of all of the coloured batter randomly in the cake pan. Use about half of the total cake batter (use the leftover for the second 8″ pan). With a knife, run the blade through the dollops which will cause them to blend together. Gently tap the cake pan on your counter to eliminate any air bubbles that may have formed. Repeat for the second cake pan.
Bake cakes in preheated oven at 350F for 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool completely before trying to ice the cake.
Level each cake layer once the cake s are cooled. On a cake board, place one layer of cake, and coat in a layer of buttercream. Place second layer on top. Cover entire cake with a thin layer of buttercream as the crumb coat. Place into a freezer for 20 minutes, or until the buttercream is stiff. Apply a second coat of buttercream.
Place the bunny marshmallows around the side of the cake. Choose one colour of M&M’s and arrange them around the outside of the top of the cake. Change colours and continue to work inwards, into the centre of the cake.
Slice and serve the cake immediately, or place in the fridge until it is ready to be eaten.
