Cut each cake in half and place half circles on serving plate side-by-side, cut side down, flat back to flat back. Spread frosting between the layers, to adhere the halves to each other.
Decorating the bunny cakes
Frost each bunny cake with remaining colored frostings. Use offset spatula or the back of a spoon to make swirls in the frosting to give the cake a fluffy look.
Cut construction paper ears and insert into cake.
For the eyes, cut a mini marshmallow in half and press on flat surface to flatten. Place flattened mini marshmallow halves on the cake. Cut a jelly bean in half and adhere to the middle of the marshmallow halves with a dab of frosting. Use a jelly bean for nose and licorice strips for whiskers. For the mouth, use a jelly bean or two gum pieces to create a fun, goofy buck-toothed rabbit. Add large marshmallow for the tail.
These bunny cakes serve 16. Visit BettyCrocker.com for a bunny cake template.
