Decorate the bunny with candy to create eyes, nose and whiskers. Use the construction paper to cut out the ears. Assemble the ears with scotch tape and stick into the cake. Add a large jelly bean or a marshmallow on the back of cake to make a tail! Decorate the platter with Easter eggs and jelly beans.  Make sure to name your Bunny Cake. Each one has its own personality!
