Place one cake on a serving platter and use a knife to carve out two small circles on the top for the bunny's cheeks. Use the leftover cake to shape two ears and attach them to the top of the cake with toothpicks. Mix a few drops of pink food coloring into the frosting and spread it over the cake. Use the black decorating gel to draw the bunny's eyes, nose, and mouth. Place marshmallows for the cheeks and jelly beans for the nose. Your classic bunny cake is now ready to serve!
For this fun and festive twist on the traditional bunny cake, follow the same steps as the classic bunny cake recipe.

Your carrot patch bunny cake is now complete!
