Amongst the brunches and the mad dash to find the "golden" egg, this year try something different during the Easter holiday. Surprise your children or grandchildren with a delicious Easter Bunny Cake. Your local craft or kitchen store should carry molds for various "bunny" cakes at very reasonable costs. Purchase some colored "grass" along with a bag of gf jelly beans and gf Hershey kisses. Invite your children to help you create a bunny masterpiece.

Glutenfreeda tested a delicious gf chocolate cake with a light buttercream frosting that we are sure you and your family will enjoy. Decorate with shredded coconut, gf chocolate, gf jelly beans and any other gf candy treats you may enjoy. Below are some tips for frosting and decorating cakes which you may find helpful:

• Have all equipment at hand

• Make sure cake is completely cool; chilled is even better

• Place the cake on a flat surface to frost. Tuck strips of wax paper under edges of the cake and pull the strips away once the cake is completely frosted.

• If you don't have a platter large enough for a large cake, use an inverted baking sheet and cover it with aluminum foil. Once the cake is frosted and decorated, sift confectioners sugar over the border of the cake and any exposed aluminum foil for decorative effect.

• Brush all crumbs away from cake and work surface before frosting.

• To frost a single layer cake, turn the layer upside down so that the flat side is up. For a two layer cake, spread 1/2 inch of frosting on top and place the second cake layer upside down on the frosting.

• If using a buttercream frosting, seal the outside of the cake to prevent the crust from pulling up: using an icing spatula, apply a thin layer of frosting to the top and sides of the cake, then refrigerate for 10 minutes until set. Frost the cake.

Happy Easter!
