Preparation:
Bake the Bonnie Butter Cake as directed.
Fill layers and frost side of cake with Creamy Chocolate Frosting, bringing frosting up over edge of cake to form a rim about 1 inch wide.
Spread thin layer of frosting on remaining top of cake. Make a basket weave pattern in frosting on side of cake by drawing inch-long horizontal and vertical lines with tines of fork.
Shake coconut and 3 or 4 drops green food-color in tightly covered jar until coconut is evenly tinted; sprinkle on top of cake within rim. Place candy eggs on coconut. Make basket handle, if desired, by twisting pipe cleaners or wire; cover with aluminum foil, win with ribbon and insert in sides of cake. |
