EASTER BUNNY CAKE
This was a favorite of mine when I was a kid but the instructions have long since been lost. I saw all kinds of "Bunny" cakes, but nothing even came close to this one... although I did manage to find a photo of it online. (It's hard to tell from the photo, but the feet are 2 layers high and the rest of the cake just one) So please excuse my crude drawings and directions, but you will have fun making it!! Great project to make with the kids, too, since you can get really creative with the decorations (other than just the ribbon bow) and can really dress it up. P.S. No law says it has to be a WHITE bunny, either... ;) ;)

Steps:
- Prepare cake mix according to directions on box for 2 round 9" layers.
- Tint 1/4 cup of the coconut pink (I'm guessing at the amount) for the center of ears and feet.
- Tint 2 tablespoons of the frosting brown for decorating face and feet ( or you can buy one of those prepared decorating icing tubes).
- When cake is cool, cut layers as shown in diagram (see other photo).
- Take 4 of the 8 outer ring pieces and frost the tops. Place 1 of the remaining 4 on top of each and frost top and sides. These will make the feet of the bunny.
- Place round-cut center piece next to the top edge of the square, keeping them both flat, to form body and head.
- Assemble the 4 side pieces in twos, flat sides together (you can use a little frosting to hold them together) to form the ears and arrange at the top of the head.
- Frost entire cake and attach the completed feet, 2 on each side of the body.
- Sprinkle coconut over entire cake and decorate with jelly beans/gumdrops for eyes, nose, etc. as desired, using pink-tinted coconut for center of ears and feet.
- Here's where you can really have fun and get creative! You can tie the ribbon in a bow and place on the cake as a bowtie, make buttons out of the candy, add a hat, etc.
- ** Tip for using frosting to decorate without a pastry bag: Spoon the frosting into one corner of a small plastic sandwich baggie, twist tightly and snip off the tip of the corner. Voila!
- Note: The finished cake is almost 2 feet long so be sure to have it on a large enough cookie sheet or platter!
- Servings vary on how you decide to divide up the body (er, bunny) parts -- .

ANOTHER 1950S PICTURE SALAD: CANDLE SALAD
Back in the 50s picture salads were popular and this one, perhaps, the most popular one of all. One-half of a banana and a pineapple slice makes an upright candle which can be trimmed in a number of ways. This version comes from Penzey's monthly magazine. An alternate version is given below; it comes from a church cookbook.

Place a banana (pointed end up) upright in the center of pineapple ring. Top the banana with a gumdrop "flame." Squeeze a little cream cheese m mixture onto the tip of each "candle" to represent wax.

- Spoon 2 cups frosting into a bowl and tint yellow, light blue, pale green or pink with food coloring (or make different colors in separate bowls). Frost Spoon a dollop of remaining white frosting onto center of each cupcake for bunny faces. (I pipe with a pastry bag or Ziploc bag with the corner cut off) To make ears: Cut each marshmallow in half crosswise with kitchen shears, then cut each piece in half diagonally to form 2 ears, flattening slightly with your fingers. Press in pink decorating sugar. (I have also used pink icing.) Stick 2 ears into each of white frosting mounds.(Stick them into the icing well so they don't fall off!).
- Use pink candies to make noses, blue candies for eyes and chocolate sprinkles for whiskers.
