Easter Bunny 'Butt' Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 muffin cups and an oven-proof glass or ceramic bowl. (5 minutes)

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just moistened, then increase speed to medium and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. (5 minutes)

Fill the prepared muffin cups with batter. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared oven-proof bowl.

Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 21 minutes. Let cool briefly in the muffin tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. (25 minutes)

Bake the cake in the preheated oven until golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, 33 to 45 minutes. Let the cake rest in the bowl for 10 to 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Transfer cooled cake to a serving platter. (60 minutes)

Place 2/3 of the coconut into a resealable plastic bag. Add red food coloring, seal the bag, and shake until the coconut is your desired shade of pink. (5 minutes)

Measure out about 1/2 cup of the remaining coconut and place in a bowl. Pour the rest of the coconut into another resealable plastic bag. Add green food coloring, seal the bag, and shake until the coconut is shaded green. (5 minutes)

Secure 2 cupcakes, tops against the cake, with toothpicks to one end of the cake to form bunny "feet." Place 2 marshmallow halves, cut-side down, on top of each cupcake to complete each "foot." Secure the remaining cupcake, top-side against the cake, with a toothpick to the top of the cake to create the "tail." (10 minutes)

Spread pink frosting over the cake and "feet," excluding the "tail." Cover the pink frosting with pink coconut. Spread white frosting over the "tail" and cover with the reserved white coconut. (15 minutes)

Cut the fruit roll to form 2 small ovals and 6 smaller circles. Using frosting as "glue," secure 1 oval and 3 circles to each "foot" to resemble foot pads. Secure paper bunny ears to the serving plate at the front of the bunny cake using frosting. Sprinkle green coconut around the cake to resemble grass. (15 minutes)
