Easter Bunny Racers Recipes

Steps:

• Unwrap Swiss cake rolls and put on flat surface to work on.
• Place contents of frosting container in quart-sized ziploc bag; press all air out, seal and snip corner off end.
• Cut a shallow V shape in bottom of Peeps so they sit flat on cake rolls.
• Add small amount of frosting to bottom of Peeps and stick on almost to the back of cake rolls.
• Take halved peach gummy slices and add small dabs of frosting to cut end and stick down behind Peep as the "back of the seat".
• Next, add small dab of frosting to Lifesavers and stick down in front of Peep on a slight angle for steering wheel.
• Take 2 matching M&M's and adhere to front of cake roll as the headlights.
• Take 4 matching Spree candies (or equivalent) and use frosting to adhere them two to each long side of cake roll as the tires.
• Repeat with all cake rolls.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for two 8-inch or 9-inch round pans.
• Reserve 1 layer for another use or to make a second bunny. Cut 1 layer in half as shown in diagram. Put halves together with frosting to make body. Place cake upright on cut edge on tray.
• Cut out a notch about one-third of the way up one end of body to form head (small end) as shown in diagram. Attach half of cutout piece from tail with toothpicks. Frost with remaining frosting, rounding body on sides. Sprinkle with 1 cup coconut. Cut ears from construction paper; wrap ends that will be inserted into cake with plastic food wrap. Press into notch on top. Use jelly beans for eyes and nose.
• Shake 1 cup coconut and 3 drops food color in tightly covered jar until evenly tinted. Surround bunny with tinted coconut. Add additional jelly beans if desired. Remove ears, plastic wrap and toothpicks before serving. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Place Swiss Roll on flat surface or plate. Put a dab of chocolate frosting on each lifesaver. Make four "wheels" with lifesavers, and use another for a steering wheel. Split one fudge covered graham cookie in half, cover back side with a little bit of frosting, and use to finish off the front end of the "car". Put a dab of frosting on bottom of the bunny and adhere to top side of the Swiss roll "car".
