Pull Apart Bunny Cakes

Nothing says “Easter” quite like dissecting a rabbit piece by piece. Of course, I’m referring to chocolate rabbits! They’re staples of the season and even if you don’t celebrate the holiday, it’s hard to pass up the terrific deals on bunny-shaped chocolates that crop up during Easter season. Chocolate bunnies aren’t the only rabbit-themed Easter choices, however. You can also opt for Pull Apart Bunny Cakes. Individual cakes baked in this silicone bunny cake pan fit together – once cooled – into the shape of a rabbit. The cupcakes can be frosted as a whole cake and the pieces can be pulled off one by one when the rabbit is served. The advantage to doing this is that the little cakes bake faster than a whole cake, and it is a little more fun to eat than your standard cake.

Of course,  you don’t need to be limited by what you can do with a pan. You can take a cue from Candy Addict and bake your own Easter Bunny Cake. This cake starts off as a sheet cake, is cut into several pieces and rearranged into a bunny shape. A few extra cuts with the knife (the cuts needed to shape the bunny are very large) and you’ll have a pull-apart cake of your own without ordering the pan to do it for you.

With chocolate bunnies, I tend to go for the ears first. I’m not sure what I’d choose with a pull apart bunny cake!
