One of the more endearing memories I have of when my kids were younger was decorating our Easter dessert. We have done some different desserts. This year I wanted to do a cake that was gluten-free and dairy-free.  Years ago I heard of people using unsweetened applesauce instead of butter so I figured I would try it.  The pineapple and the maraschino cherries would just add to the cake's moistness.  Here's how I made this cute GF DF Teddy Bear Easter Egg Hunt Cake Recipe.  Be sure to read the notes in the ingredients area also.

One year, we made flower cookies, and another year, we made this carrot cake bunny. (See below.) The best thing about making a recipe is that after you make it, you can then eat it. Last year, this carrot cake bunny cake was a huge success.

In a small bowl, mix the coconut and the cookie icing until the coconut is green. With a small spoon, scoop out a little bit and add it to the top of the green or yellow areas of the cake. 

Make the signs for the cake. Write one letter on each flag: H A P P Y E A S T E R. Make two flags that say Happy Easter on them. Fold the flat side around the toothpick (use double-stick tape to help it stick).
