1 (18.25 ounce) box of strawberry surpreme cake mix for the bottom part of the cake.
butter cream icing:
1/2 c solid vegetable shortening (i used crisco)
1/2 c (1/2 stick) butter or margarine at room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
4 c (approx. 1 lb.) sifted confectioners' sugar
2 Tbsp milk

1 16 ounce box of icing bunny decorations
1 large ready made bow
1 21 inch ribbon of choice (cut to fit cake)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Greese and flour a 14 inch round cake pan and a medium size oven proof bowl and set aside.
  • 3. Mix cake mix's according to directions and fill the round pan half full and the bowl about 2 inches from the rim. (you will have extra cake mix left) I made cup cakes with it.
  • 4. Place pan and bowl in oven on center rack and bake until golden brown or when a wooded toothpick pushed down in the center of cake comes out clean. (the round cake will be done before the cake in the bowl)
  • 5. Remove round cake from oven and place on a wire rack to completely cool. After testing cake in the bowl; remove from oven and place on wire rack to cool.
  • 6. When round cake is completely cool remove from pan onto a very large platter or a large piece of cardboard covered with foil.
  • 7. Meanwhile mix icing in mixing bowl until smooth and creamy.
  • 8. Cover round cake with a thin layer of icing and place the bowl cake in the center of it and cover with icing also.
  • 9. (Since I'm not good at making my icing smooth when covering cakes; I used a flower decorating tip to cover the cake. This to me is also an easy way to cover any cracks that may accure).
  • 10. Decorate as desired or use my pattern. HAPPY EASTER!
