Prepare the cake in a round cake pan according to the package directions.
Once cooled, cut the round cake in half.
Place the two halves together, and cut a 90-degree angle from the very top corner.
Place the frosting in between the two layers and put it back together. Turn the cake on its side, with the flat edge becoming the bottom of the cake.
Frost the remainder of the cake.
Cut out paper bunny ears and pop in the ears and M&M bunny eyes.
In a paper bag, shake together coconut and a drop or two of green food coloring to make green grass.
Place your cake on a plate of coconut grass and decorate as desired.

You can get creative with decorating your bunny's face. You could even give him a cute bow tie, pink jelly bean nose, and whiskers if you'd like.
Add the shredded coconut to a brown lunch bag. Directly into the bag add a few drops of green food coloring. Fold down the top to seal bag and toss the coconut in the green food coloring. Be sure not to add too much food coloring, you still want the coconut to be fairly dry.
Spread out your “grass” on a serving platter and place the bunny cake on the top. Then, garnish with a few sprinkled jelly beans. Every year my grandmother likes to add a few dark-colored jelly beans to the back of my bunny. It always gives everyone a chuckle.
