--2 pink pipe cleaners

Cut the cake layer into two semi-circles. Join the layers together with a layer of white buttercream. Place the joined layers onto the cake board, standing vertically, a little off center and frost entirely with white. Press the coconut flakes onto the cake.

Using additional white frosting, pipe the bunny's head and tail. Pipe chicks using yellow and orange frosting, pipe a carrot using orange, and frost the cake board with green buttercream for grass. Add eyes, whiskers and nose with butter cream and candies. Bend pipe cleaners to create ears.

Finish off with candies and sprinkles.
