Step 1: Bake the sponge cake

Preheat the oven to 180°C (convection oven 160°C) and grease the baking pan with baking spray. Prepare 150 g FunCakes Mix for Sponge Cake Deluxe, as directed on the package. Spoon the batter into the baking pan and bake the sponge cake for about 30-35 minutes until done. Immediately after baking, dump onto the cooling grid and leave to cool.

Step 2: Prepare the buttercream

Prepare 200 g FunCakes Mix for Buttercream according to the instructions on the package. Flavour the buttercream with the Lemon Meingue flavouring paste and colour it light green with the colouring gel.

Step 3: Cut and fill the cake

Cut the biscuit 2x with the cake leveler and fill and spread all around with buttercream. Let this set in the fridge for half an hour.

Step 4: Line the cake with marzipan

Line the cake with the marzipan and make it nice and smooth, using the smoothers.

Step 5: Make the Deco Melt Bunny

Melt the yellow FunCakes Deco Melts in a bowl in the microwave, as indicated on the packaging, and spread into the mould using a brush. Leave to set in the fridge and repeat the process 2 or 3 more times. 

Carefully remove the bunny from the mould. Smooth the edges of the bunny on a warm plate and stick them directly onto each other. Using a small brush or cocktail stick, give the bunnies a black eye with melted Deco Melts. If you like, you can put a ribbon around the neck.

Step 6: Decorate the cake

Put the remaining green buttercream in a piping bag with adaptor and decorating tip #233.  Pipe the entire top of the cake with grass. Put the Easter Bunny with some small chocolate bunnies on top of the cake and decorate further with some small sugar eggs and the FunCakes Sugar flowers.  If you have enough buttercream left, you can also decorate the bottom edge with blades of grass, eggs and flowers.

Step 7: Enjoy this Easter Cake during brunch!
