My mother-in-law has made these for possibly forever, and she told me how to make them. Then the day before Easter, I found this pan at JoAnn on sale:
That's right, a bunny-shaped whoopie pie pan! It's even sold that way. How cute is that?
Just fill 'em up...
Bake them. Then slice off the tops...
For the second batch, I filled them a little more full and was happier with how they cooked up.
You'll have to match them stacked top-to-bottom. My only complaint with this Wilton pan is that I'd rather half of the bunnies be backwards so I could match up wrong sides.
In the meantime, match up the cut-off tops.
Smear frosting on one bunny. I used canned white frosting because I was feeling lazy. You could make your own plain frosting. Really, any kind would work.
Smash another bunny on to make a sandwich.
Repeat until you have a bunch of bunny cakes. Then recoil at the wood-paneled wall in my kitchen.
The blob-shaped gobs made from the wrong-side-matched cut-off tops taste just as good but aren't as adorably bunny-like.
Whenever possible, I buy butter-recipe cake mixes because I prefer butter to oil. Either one is fine. I've even made funfetti gobs in the past and they were delicious. If you don't have a cute little pan, just put 1/4-cup mounds on a sprayed cookie sheet and bake.
